Description
Nautilus House is an office building dating from around 1840. It features a stucco ground floor and brick above, with stone dressings and a slate roof. The building is three storeys high and has nine bays. All windows are tripartite sashes with glazing bars on the ground and second floors. The central entrance is rusticated and flanked by pilasters, topped with an entablature. There is a parapet and cornice, with sill bands between the floors. The first-floor windows have marginal glazing bars, with the central window featuring a pediment and the end windows having cornices on brackets. The second floor has ten windows. This building is historically significant as it served as the headquarters of James Dunwoody Bulloch, the Confederate Agent who commissioned the construction of Confederate Cruisers in England, particularly on Merseyside, under the guise of the Southern Cotton Commissioners. The most notable of these ships was the CSS Alabama, making this building effectively the Confederate Embassy in England.
