American Consulate (in 1827) when the first Consul was in office.
The so-called American Consulate in Paradise Street has a sign which says that James Maury had an office in Paradise Street at some time during his 44 years in office (but typically doesn't give an exact date).
Even if that's true (which I doubt) the sign doesn't claim that the building with the Eagle on it WAS the Consulate.
That's been left to people who've misinterpreted what's been said.
Edit. 2022.
This has been bumped up because I've been told that there's a new "Heritage Trail" in Liverpool One which (among other things) repeats the ridiculous claim that the American Consulate was in Paradise Street, just beause there was a pub with the eagle on its facade,
Incidentally, Exchange Buildings was behind the Town Hall.
