Times Furnishing - I always think of it as the Times Building
the Times Furnishing Company store on the High Street in Birmingham, now a Waterstone's bookstore.fabulous, almost sky scraper-ish Waterstones building, built on the site of what was once the first book shop in Birmingham. What I didn’t know was that the building was once a furniture store, covered in neon lights that lit up a Birmingham that was still full of back to back houses.

138 and 139 are on the list of Locally Listed Buildings and categorised as grade B. However, so are 135, 136 and 137.
According to the list this means
Grade B: Structures or features that are important in the city wide architectural context or the local street scene, and warrant positive efforts to ensure their preservation.
