Furness House, Offices

Opened in 1969, Furness House was purpose-built for original owners Manchester Liners, and was designed to resemble the bridge of a ship. In recognition of the shipping links between Manchester and Canada a 32 foot totem pole stood outside the main entrance for many years, until wood rot took its toll. Carved by a member of the Kwaktiutl tribe in North America, the pole was presented as a gift and features symbolic representations such as an eagle for the tribe’s solidarity, a killer whale to represent the mastery of the seas and a raven messenger symbolising trade.
