From the Wikipedia article
The Lyceum is a Neoclassical Grade II* listed building located on Bold Street, Liverpool, England. It was constructed in 1802 as a news-room and England's first subscription library (1758–1942) and later became a gentlemen's club. After the club relocated in 1952 the building was left unoccupied for many years, eventually falling into a state of disrepair. Calls were made for its demolition in the late 1970s, sparking a campaign to save the building. It reopened as a post office, and then a branch of the Co-operative Bank. As of May 2024, its tenants are a Chinese restaurant (Church Street entrance) and a miniature golf and bar venue called One Below (main entrance).
