The building was built as offices and a factory by Thomas Royse Lysaght, for his brother John Lysaght of John Lysaght and Co. with the buildings being completed by R Milverton Drake. The site was previously owned by Acraman and Company and was involved in the manufacture of corrugated-iron and pre-fabricated buildings, which were exported around the world and particular to settlers in Australia.[1] By 1878 the factory employed 400 men and produced 1,000 tons of galvanised iron sheet a month. The company also diversified into making constructional ironwork, exported around the world from Bristol.[2][3]
The building was home to the head office of renewable energy consultancy GL Garrad Hassan.[1]
It is an example of the Bristol Byzantine style and a number of the associated buildings have Grade II* or Grade II listed status.[4][5][6][7]
The company offices are Grade II* listed.[4] The offices were built in a Gothic style with a domed atrium decorated with golden Doulton tiles. The offices have wood panelling and throughout the building are elaborate decorations.[1]
