The former Times Furnishing store on the High Street, in the city centre of Birmingham in the West Midlands.
Other than a cinema there is little Art-Deco architecture in Birmingham, the former Times Furnishing store is an exception. Designed by architects Burnett & Eprile in 1938, it is now a Waterstones book shop.
An eight-storey modern tower, its height emphasized by tall strips of windows linked by lead panels, their central fins with a kind of cubic billet moulding. Side pilasters with curved tops, and roof canopy floating free.
