The Cunard Building is a
Grade II* listed building in
Liverpool ,
England . It is located at the
Pier Head and along with the neighbouring
Royal Liver Building and
Port of Liverpool Building is one of Liverpool’s
Three Graces , which line the city’s waterfront. It is also part of Liverpool’s former
UNESCO designated
World Heritage , the
Maritime Mercantile City .
It was designed by William Edward Willink and Philip Coldwell Thicknesse and was constructed between 1914 and 1917. The building’s style is a mix of Italian Renaissance and Greek Revival , and its development has been particularly influenced by Italian palace design. The building is noted for the ornate sculptures that adorn its sides.

The building was, from its construction until the 1960s, the headquarters of the
Cunard Line , and the building still retains the name of its original owner. It was also home to Cunard’s passenger facilities for trans-Atlantic journeys departing from Liverpool. Today, the building is owned by Liverpool City Council and is home to numerous public and private sector organisations, including The British Music Experience. It is located diagonally across the Strand from
Albion House , the former headquarters of
White Star Line .
