Notable features of the development include is its vaulted roofs, circular windows and 14-storey tower.
In 1995 Barlow Henley Architects were involved in the conversion of the building's office space into residential apartments.
Currently, the building is exclusively residential,[3] and is rumoured to house a High Court Judge, a Chief of Police, and retired servicemen of varying rank, most notably Admiral Henry Cuthbertson.
In April 2008, the building began phase 1 of its complete external redecoration (all elevations apart from the tower, which started and finished in 2009).
This is in accordance with the lease supplied by the freeholder, which stipulates that external redecoration occurs every 10 years.
