Westminster House, Office building in Manchester, England
Westminster House rises seven stories high on Portland Street, featuring bands of glazing with red brick accents across its main frontage and wings.
The building served as Greater Manchester County Council headquarters from 1974 until 1986, when the council was dissolved by the national government.
The structure reflects the 1970s architectural transition in Manchester, marking a period when municipal buildings adopted modern commercial design principles.
The ground floor contains retail spaces, while the upper levels provide office accommodation for multiple businesses, including technology company Arm Limited.
Following an £18 million renovation in 2017, the property received a new designation as 11 Portland Street, departing from its original Westminster House name.
