Congress House

In 1948, Aberdeen won an architectural competition to design the new TUC headquarters building in Great Russell Street, London.[4] Staff began to move into the offices in 1956 and the building was officially opened in 1958. Today the building is Grade II* listed.[5]

Congress House was officially opened on 27 March 1958 along with the unveiling of the sculpture by Jacob Epstein, intended as a memorial to the dead trade unionists of both world wars, in the courtyard.[6] It was one of the earliest post-war buildings to be listed at Grade II*, in 1988.[7] As of 2020, it still serves as the TUC's headquarters and is available on a private hire basis for events.[8]

Aberdeen's other work includes the Aircraft Assembly Buildings at Filton, Bristol (jointly with Eric Ross), 1947-9, the Swiss Centre in Leicester Square, London, 1961-8,[7] and Shrewsbury Market Hall, 1965.[9]
