## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

Tower Building is a Grade II* listed apartment block in Liverpool, England. It stands with its longer front on the east side of the Strand, and extends round the corner into Water Street. The building is located directly opposite the Royal Liver Building, which was designed by the same architect, Walter Aubrey Thomas. The structure was originally designed for use as an office building, and is one of the earliest steel-framed buildings in England. It has been converted into apartments and units for commercial and retail use.
Earlier buildings on the site have been a sandstone mansion, and a later fortified house known as the Tower of Liverpool.
