State Insurance Building, Liverpool, Gothic Revival building in Dale Street, Liverpool, England
The State Insurance Building stands at 14 Dale Street, constructed in ashlar stone with polished red granite columns on the ground floor level.
The structure, completed in 1906 by architect Walter Aubrey Thomas, endured partial destruction during World War II bombing, which eliminated its central turret.
The building underwent multiple transformations, from an insurance office to a dance hall in the 1920s, then a department store and later a music venue.
Current visitors will find offices in the upper floors while the ground level houses a restaurant with preserved marble walls and gold-painted ceilings.
The interior features a central courtyard covered by a glass barrel vault, surrounded by wooden-balustraded galleries and decorated with Alfred R. Martin's circular reliefs.
