Albion House Liverpool
Now empty and for sale, this Grade II* listed building was designed by architects Richard Norman Shaw and J. Francis Doyle, it was built for the Ismay, Imrie and Company shipping company, which later became the White Star Line.
After White Star merged with Cunard Line the headquarters remained at Albion House until 1927. The facade is constructed from white Portland stone and red brick. In 1912, when news of the disaster of the Titanic reached the offices, the officials were apparently too afraid to leave the building, and instead read the names of the deceased from the balcony
