Oriel Chambers is an office building located on Water Street near the town hall in Liverpool, England. It was the world's first building featuring a metal-framed glass curtain wall, which has since become a defining feature of skyscrapers around the world.[1] Designed by architect Peter Ellis and built in 1864, it has been grade I listed due to its outstanding importance.
