16 Cook Street

16 Cook Street, Liverpool is the world's second glass curtain walled building.

[1][2] Designed by Peter Ellis in 1866, it is a Grade II* Listed Building.

Built two years after Oriel Chambers on Water Street, the architect's best-known work, it shows the development of Ellis' style.

Its floor to ceiling glass allows light to penetrate deep into the building, contrasting strongly with the adjacent structures.

[3] Both 16 Cook Street and Oriel Chambers were featured in the ITV (Granada / Tyne Tees) television programme Grundy's Northern Pride, looking at John Grundy's favourite buildings in the north of England, aired on 9 January 2007.
