NOTES: The Institute was built in 1890-1893 to a competition-winning design by John Belcher in collaboration with his pupil Beresford Pite. It was extended by Belcher's later partner J. J. Joass in 1930. Sir William Whitfield was commissioned in 1959 to further extend the building and provide a Great Hall, seen here, for which final designs were accepted in 1964 and the building completed in 1970.
NOTES: Church House was built to house as the national headquarters of the Church of England. Baker had been preparing designs for the building as early as 1929, but building didn't start until 1936.

The Guildhall was built in 1932-1936. The murals by Frank Brangwyn seen here were originally intended for the House of Lords at the Palace of Westminster. Brangwyn depicted a 'synthetic panorama of the beauty of Greater Britain'. The panels though were rejected by the House of Lords, after being exhibited at the Ideal Home exhibition of 1933, they were acquired by Swansea. The panels date from the late 1920s to the early 1930s.
