Oriel Chambers, built in 1864, was the world’s first metal framed, glass curtain walled building. The Victorians were truly horrified at its bland appearance, after all you ‘must’ decorate the façade as a ‘respectable’ citizen of wealth. Every building with a metal structure supporting it’s weight and curtain walls is a descendant of this radical piece of architecture. There is speculation that John Root, who was sent abroad to avoid the American Civil War and was in Liverpool at the time, was influenced by the building when developing early skyscrapers in Chicago.

The Lady Lever Art Gallery set in the Port Sunlight, is a museum founded and built by the industrialist and philanthropist William Lever. Port Sunlight was built by Lever Brothers to accommodate workers in its soap factory (now part of Unilever); work commenced in 1888. The name is derived from Lever Brothers' most popular brand of cleaning agent, Sunlight. Lever's aims were "to socialise and Christianise business relations and get back to that close family brotherhood that existed in the good old days of hand labour." He claimed that Port Sunlight was an exercise in profit sharing, but rather than share profits directly, he invested them in the village.
