Oriel Chambers, Victorian office building in Water Street, Liverpool, England.

The building features a metal-framed glass curtain wall with a grid of oriel windows across its five-story limestone and iron structure.

Peter Ellis designed this Grade I listed building in 1864, introducing an innovative architectural approach that influenced early American skyscraper development.

The structure houses multiple barristers' chambers, serving as a center for legal professionals since 1965 in Liverpool's business district.

Located at 14 Water Street near Liverpool Town Hall, the building contains 43,000 square feet of office space with large windows for natural light.

The building's revolutionary cast-iron frame allowed extensive glass usage on facades, marking a departure from traditional Victorian architectural styles.
