Intercity House is an office building situated at Plymouth railway station (formerly known as Plymouth North Road station),[1] the main rail station in Plymouth, Devon. Opened in 1962 by Dr Beeching,[2] it was constructed by British Rail between 1956 and 1962 as part of the post war reconstruction detailed in A Plan for Plymouth,[3][4][5] put forward by Sir Patrick Abercrombie at the request of Plymouth City Councillors.
It has 10 stories and is 47.2 m high and is one of the three tallest buildings in Plymouth (2014).[6]
The building is scheduled for a major update,[7] as part of a ten-year plan to improve the facilities at the station[8]
