Adelaide House built in 1925. Architect: Sir John Burnet & Partners Project architects: D Raeside, Sir John Burnet, Thomas S Tait. At 148 feet high it was the tallest block in London at the time and the first to be constructed using the steel frame technique already much used in New York and Chicago . The design included many Art-Deco touches on the facade, which was otherwise modelled on a typical American hi-rise office block of the period.
