Oxo Tower
From Graces Guide
of London
1910 The Post Office Central Power Station was built on the site, immediately west of Blackfriars Bridge, towards the end of the 19th century.
1927 The property was subsequently acquired by the Liebig's Extract of Meat Co, manufacturers of Oxo beef stock cubes, for conversion into a cold store and wharves for Oxo Ltd.
1928-29 Re-built to a design by company architect Albert Moore. In order to advertise its famous OXO stock cube without violating the ban on skyline advertising, the company installed the now-famous Art Deco windows on the tower.[1]
