Although Robert Abraham was the County Fire Insurance Company's architect, it was probably Nash who was instrumental in choosing the design.[30] In 1924 the old County Fire Office was demolished and replaced with a similar but much coarser building designed by Reginald Blomfield, but retaining the statue of Britannia.[31] During the London Blitz it was the only building in the Circus to be damaged, with a few window panes blown out.[32] The building is Grade II listed.[33]
