Liverpool Cotton Exchange Building

The Liverpool Cotton Exchange Building, located in Old Hall Street, is a historic office block that showcases a blend of Neoclassical and contemporary architecture. Originally opened in 1906 by the Prince and Princess of Wales, it replaced an earlier cotton exchange and was designed to facilitate global cotton trading with advanced communication technologies of its time. The building features a striking façade with Baroque towers and retains elements of its original design, including impressive larvikite columns. It has served various purposes over the years, including housing Liverpool's registrar's office until 2012. Notably, it was the site of a suffragette bombing in 1913. Today, it remains a Grade II listed building, attracting visitors interested in its architectural significance and rich history.
