North Western HotelDesigner: Alfred Waterhouse Opened as a 330 room hotel in 1871, the building was designed by Alfred Waterhouse. Better known nationally for his design of the Natural History Museum in London, Waterhouse also designed the Prudential building in Dale Street. The seven storey faŤade is faced with Caen and Storton stone and was considered of such importance that a contribution was made by the Corporation towards the cost. It contrasts with the more usual brickwork facades that Waterhouse employed. The building is massive, monumental and symmetrical in the French Renaissance style. Empty for some years, it has recently been sympathetically converted into student accommodation for the John Moores University.
