Merthyr Road: Empire House
Posted by Stuart Herbert on August 24th, 2010 in Bute Docks, Cardiff, Coal, Historical, Photos, Shoot.
Mount Stuart Square, a designated conservation area since 1980, is home to something like 60 listed buildings. Some of these listed buildings are considered landmark buildings; some are not.
One of the ones which is listed is Empire House, designed by Percy Thomas. It was originally built for Evans & Reid Coal Company, one of the exporters who exported coal out through Cardiff Docks. It was built in 1926.
