Building style edit

The Parkinson Building does have an art deco interior, but its overall structure, exterior, floor plan and windows are clearly Palladian or Neo-Palladian. The first sentence in this article, which reads "The Parkinson Building is a grade II listed art deco building", is very misleading. The columns at the top of the Parkinson Steps and those inside the Parkinson Court might have steel structure internally, but they appear to be classical Greek columns as in Palladian villas.
