This Iconic Richard Rodgers building was taken this afternoon. For those familiar with the building the  stairwells that often help to identify the building are softened and tucked away on the left. It was completed in 1986 and the heir to the throne, Prince Charles, referred to it as a “monstrous carbuncle.” Twenty five years later it received a ‘Grade 1’ listed status.
