Corn Exchange Chambers
Corn Exchange Chambers is a Grade II listed building on Seething Lane in the City of London . The four-storey building, built in 1859 under Edward I'Anson , stands out above all for its Italianate-style facade .
The ground floor of the building has arcades and is made of natural stone. From the first floor, the architect used red brick with seven windows per floor. On the lower floors these are arched, on the top floor they are rectangular. The naturalistic carvings in the spandrels on the ground floor were rare in secular buildings at this time.
A thorough renovation took place in 1990 by the architecture firm Fitzroy Robinson. Originally there were offices of the dealers in the Corn Exchange . This one was nearby in Mark Lane . The building has been a Grade II listed building since 1972.
