They're occasionally a NecroTech front. NecroTech buildings can only be identified as such from the street by characters (living or dead) with NecroTech Employment; characters with this skill will see "[NT]" appended to the end of the building's name. Office buildings are tall enough for survivors to commit suicide from. They also provide a vantage point from which binoculars can be used. Office buildings can be barricaded normally.

The Eades Building [87,20] is a fire-damaged concrete building flanked by trees. It is located in Gibsonton.

It served as the head offices of A.K. Firearms, and was built in the early 1980s to replace the cramped offices of The Eades Gallery which previously stood on the site.

Originally built by the Cornish art merchant and philanthropist, Denzel Eades, in 1860, as he expanded his business into Malton. Eades Gallery's location proved profitable, being linked with two railway stations, as well as having two museums near by. Denzel was able to ship works of art and statues from around the world easily to Malton.

Denzel was murdered in Florence in 1863, following an unfortunate tryst with a countess. His portrait now hangs in the Boardroom, somehow untouched by zombie marauders.

The art gallery was eventually sold off to Atterson's of Durham, where it flourished for a while, until, with the start of World War 2, art sales plummeted. Always an astute businessman, Sir John Atterson teamed up with Martin Kempster and converted it into offices for their new venture, A.K. Firearms, building a new factory 88,20 next door. Following a munitions explosion in 1979, which structurally weakened the Gallery, Charles Atterson commissioned a new office block.
