the Hoover Buildings have long been heralded as a monument to the art deco movement. the Hoover Buildings, designed by Wallis, Gilbert and Partners, are magnificent and a real advertisement for the Hoover company. the beautiful facades were a revolution in the 1930's and the use of colour was especially bold with the light green window frames making the buildings unmistakable. Chisel & Mouse have produced an architectural sculpture of "Building No.7". it was the last to be constructed and operated as the staff canteen and recreation centre.
