The offices were constructed between 1897 and 1900 and bear the date 1898. The development was part of the industrialist David Davies's scheme for Barry Docks and was intended to regulate the substantial coal exporting trade which had grown to world prominence in the town.

The Dock Office is a landmark building on the skyline of Barry. It was completed in 1900, although the building bears the ambitious date of 1898. Built in a Baroque Revival style, this was the rather grand General Offices of the Barry Dock and Railway Company, whose staff had been working in temporary cabins, so this was quite the upgrade.

This imposing building stands out from the relatively flat surroundings and harks to a by-gone era. Impressive stature!
