Prudential Assurance Building
Alfred Waterhouse’s Dale Street office building stands out in red brick and terracotta. Its corner oriel and later tower make a brief exterior stop especially rewarding.
Why go
The textured red frontage shows a different approach from the pale classical banks nearby. Prudential commissioned Waterhouse for a regional office, and the tower added later makes the building easy to pick out along Dale Street. Look closely at the tiled surface and corner details.
