Comments[edit]

Shame, the building seemed suited for the Home Office. I liked to imagine that the lower floors were used for those in a domestic observation role (because they seem to peer emotionless down onto the street), the floors of the main central stalk for routine process and administrative roles, the stuck-out floors for the high-ups (because they're prominent), and the upper floors for hush-hush stuff and secret meetings (because you can't see them from the ground). - Keith D.

I always thought it rather looked like a giant version of those guard towers you have in maximum security prisons. And it does very appositely convey the massive, implacable solidity of the State. What would you want as a headquarters for your internal security department - a Swiss chateau? :D Keithlard 23:07, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The Queen Anne's Mansions it replaced sounds intriguing: a Victorian high-rise! Does anyone have any further info, or pictures? FrFintonStack 02:25, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. Whilst I can find a lot of talk about Queens Anne's Mansions - none of it good! - I haven't been able to locate any images of it. Can anyone assist? The fact that it allegedly drew the wrath of Queen Victoria (causing a height restriction to be placed on London buildings for quite some time) would suggest to me that it may be worthy of it's own article.Johnmc 03:15, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have just created a page on Queen Anne's Mansions, no pictures yet. EricHutton (talk) 12:49, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is an aerial photo of 55 Broadway that shows Queen Anne's Mansions in the background: http://www.charlesholden.com/html/charlesholden_gallery_pages/55Broadway_6.htm plawes 10/09/09 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.25.109.197 (talk) 09:25, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't the name a street address? How did the address of a building change? --Jfruh (talk) 20:36, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

because the front door moved round the corner from QAG to Petty France. NtheP (talk) 12:40, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
