Description

These new Government Offices were designed by architect J M Brydon and completed with modifications in 1912 by Sir Henry Tanner. The relief sculpture on the pediment was created in 1905 by Bertram Mackennal. The Bedford Lemere daybook states that the building is the Colonial Office, although that appears to have been to the north next to the Home Office, now the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
