The Grade-II listed Albany Building has a very interesting past
Nestled in Liverpool's business district, the Albany Building will be passed by thousands of people each day, but many may not be aware of its interesting history. The Albany is found on Old Hall Street in Liverpool city centre and it is one of the city's oldest buildings. As the ECHO reported last year , the building was constructed in 1856 for banker and philanthropist Richard Naylor.
But the restaurant later became a thing of the past after the brothers sold the chain in the 1970s. The rest of the Albany Building was being used as offices before it was threatened with demolition in the 1970s. This came after many of its offices were left in a state of disrepair with peeling wallpaper and leaking ceilings. A campaign group called 'Save the Albany' was launched to save it and the building was granted Grade-II listed status as a result.
