点评:It is located at the Pier Head and along with the neighbouring Cunard Building and Port of Liverpool Building is one of Liverpool's Three Graces, which line the city's waterfront. It was also part of Liverpool's formerly UNESCO-designated World Heritage Maritime Mercantile City.
Opened in 1911, the building was the purpose-built home of the Royal Liver Assurance group, which had been set up in the city in 1850 to provide locals with assistance related to losing a wage-earning relative. One of the first buildings in the world to be built using reinforced concrete, the Royal Liver Building stands at 98.2 m (322 ft) tall to the top of the spires, 103.7 m (340 ft) to the top of the birds and 50.9 m (167 ft) to the main roof.
The Royal Liver Building is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the city of Liverpool with its two fabled Liver Birds, which watch over the city and the sea. Legend has it that if the two birds were to fly away, the city would cease to exist.

该建筑于 1911 年开业,是皇家利物保险集团的专用总部,该集团于 1850 年在该市成立,为当地人提供与失去工薪亲属有关的援助。皇家利物大厦是世界上第一批使用钢筋混凝土建造的建筑之一,尖顶高 98.2 米(322 英尺),鸟顶高 103.7 米(340 英尺),主屋顶高 50.9 米(167 英尺)。
皇家利物大厦是利物浦市最知名的地标之一,大厦内有两只传说中的利物鸟,守护着城市和大海。传说如果这两只鸟飞走,这座城市就会不复存在。
