Architecture and History

Designed by John Brydon in the Edwardian Baroque style, the building reflects the grandeur typical of early 20th-century government architecture. Constructed in two phases - completing the eastern end in 1908 and the western end in 1917 - it was originally intended to house various government departments, including the Board of Education and the Local Government Board. The structure features Portland stone facades, rusticated lower levels, arched windows, and classical columns, embodying a sense of imperial authority and permanence.

In 2005, following a significant refurbishment led by Foster and Partners, the building became the headquarters for HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). This renovation preserved the historic façades while introducing modern amenities, seamlessly blending Edwardian grandeur with 21st-century functionality.
