Oriel Chambers, Grade II office building in Hull, England.

The five-story Oriel Chambers exhibits metal-framed glass curtain walls and cellular windows across its facade, creating a distinguished exterior design.

Peter Ellis completed this architectural work in 1864, introducing innovative construction methods that influenced later commercial buildings in Chicago.

The building's design received initial criticism from The Builder publication, which compared it unfavorably to standard brick warehouses of the period.

Current tenants include several barristers' chambers that occupy different sections of the building's 43,000 square feet of office space.

The inscription 'stand sure' at the top of the building reflects its endurance through World War II damage and subsequent 1950s reconstruction.
