Victoria Square House, Grade II listed building in Victoria Square, Birmingham, England
Victoria Square House rises six floors high with French Renaissance architectural elements, featuring a central atrium that illuminates the interior spaces naturally.
The structure, completed in 1891, served as Birmingham's Head Post Office until 1972, when postal operations moved to a more modern facility.
The building represents late Victorian architectural excellence, designed by Henry Tanner with detailed stonework and symmetrical proportions characteristic of French Renaissance style.
Located near Grand Central and New Street station, the building provides 160,000 square feet of office space with modern amenities and basement parking.
A 1973 demolition proposal faced strong opposition from The Victorian Society, resulting in the preservation of the historic facade integrated with new office development.
