Albion House, also known as the White Star Building or 30 James Street, stands proudly at the corner of James Street and The Strand, facing the world-famous Pier Head. Built between 1896 and 1898, its bold red-brick and white Portland stone façade earned it the affectionate local nickname the “streaky bacon” building.
