Manchester Unity Building

Completed in 1932, the Manchester Unity Building is an imposing example of Neo-Gothic architecture. Though built from concrete and steel, this skyscraper is notable for the impressive glazed terracotta work which is on its exterior cladding and the extensive use of marble inside the structure. Built by Marcus Barlow for the Manchester Unity Independent Order of Oddfellows , a branch of the fraternal Odfellows organization found in the United Kingdom, the complex is now used mostly for dental practices.
