16 Cook Street

16 Cook Street in Liverpool, England, is a remarkable Grade II* listed building and the world's second glass curtain walled structure, designed by architect Peter Ellis in 1866. This architectural gem showcases Ellis' innovative style with its floor-to-ceiling glass that floods the interior with natural light, creating a striking contrast with nearby buildings. Notably, it is believed that American architect John Root drew inspiration from this and the adjacent Oriel Chambers during his studies in Liverpool. The building was also featured in the ITV programme Grundy's Northern Pride, highlighting its significance in the architectural landscape of northern England.
