About this audio guide
This guide to Queen Avenue in Liverpool stands you in front of a listed, temple-fronted office by the architect Samuel Rowland, and asks why its dates and its name sit so awkwardly together. It reads the building as an object: ashlar blocks, Doric and Ionic columns, a later granite doorway and a richly decorated hall. Stand on the south side of the lane, facing the columns, and then turn to the iron-panelled arches at either end.
