A handsome view of Birmingham Town Hall in Victoria Square, Birmingham. Joseph Hansom and Edward Welch were chosen as the architects. Construction began on April 27, 1832 with an expected completion date of 1833. However, Hansom went bankrupt during construction, having tendered too low. The contractors were also losing money. Three guarantors donated money for the building; W. P. Lloyd, John Welch and Edward Tench. With the injection of this money, the building was successfully opened for the delayed Birmingham Triennial Musical Festival on October 7, 1834, despite the building still being unfinished. During construction, on January 26, 1833, two workers were killed when a 70 foot crane constructed to install the roof trusses broke and the pulley block failed. Architect Charles Edge was commissioned in 1835 to repair weaknesses to the design of the building. He was also commissioned for the extension of the building in 1837 and again in 1850.

W. Finley Del.t. T. Garner Sc.t.
[n.d., c.1825.]
Engraving. 220 x 270mm (8¾ x 10¾"), with very large margins.
The interior of an orangery conservatory built for Alexander Baring by Jones & Clark (today Henry Hope & Sons Ltd), commissioned 1824. Although the cast-iron interior was prefabricated (a revolutionary concept at the time), the exterior has a four-columned Ionic portico. The columns shown here were hollow, allowing the collection of rainwater. In 1890 Francis Baring (the 5th Lord Ashburton) converted the orangery into a picture gallery which doubled as a ballroom.
