my direct relative designed the red one. My only claim to fame.

He also designed the Anglican cathedral in Liverpool, I believe.

correct! he did indeed.

I'm now going to exhaust the interesting things I know about this by saying: he won a competition with his design of the Anglican cathedral despite being a Catholic himself; the Catholic cathedral in Liverpool was conversely designed by an Anglican. The city was a lot more sectarian then than it is now and the cathedrals stand at either end of a road called Hope Street.
