Craven House (also known as Fisher House)[1] is a large office building in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England located on Michaelson Road close to the eponymous bridge. Constructed in the 1960s the building is noted for its length of roughly 90 m (300 ft) and consists of seven floors making it one of the tallest storied buildings in the town.[2] The gross floor area stands at around 8,100 square metres (87,000 sq ft).[2] Craven House is owned by the Department for Work and Pensions through Barrow Borough Council and currently houses the town's principal Jobcentre[3] alongside leasing office space to the headquarters of successful shipping company James Fisher & Sons - the only Barrow based company listed on the London Stock Exchange.[1]
In 2003 the entire external fabric of the building was recladded and a further £1.7 million was spent in 2013 on refurbishing the inside of the building and installing a new roof.[4] Craven House generates around £176,000 for Barrow Borough Council per annum, making it the largest individual commercial asset under the council's possession.[4]
