UNDERSTANDING THE HISTORY

The building was designed in 1956 by Richard Seifert and William Frischmann; design which hinted towards modernity, with a European modernist idiom.

The Typewriter Building was created for Typewriter Sundries Ltd.; a typewriter manufacturing company and the building’s original namesake. By 1961, the business was called Office and Electronic Machines Ltd.

and was the UK distribution and marketing company for the Adler-Triumph-Imperial range of German typewriter, as well as other typewriters and office machinery. The building was also used as a training centre for the use and maintenance of office equipment. In 1990, Adler sold their machines business to Olivetti, one of the most renowned typewriter manufacturers at the time.
