1900-02 by Mansell & Mansell. A fine office block in brick and cream terracotta, the steel structure firmly expressed in the brick and terracotta grid of the facade. Built for the Ocean Insurance Corporation, with their initials, and bands of roses and thistles, and waves and fishes, o the corner oriel. Finely moulded entrance. Shallow canted end bays. Delightful fantasy at the top: ogee windows, parapet wit heart-shaped piercings, two-stage turret, end gables with brick and terracotta diapering. Ground floor windows lowered 1983.Birmingham: Pevsner Architectural Guides (Pevsner City Guide),A Foster, 2005
