Description: EXTRA INFOPHOTO ST GEORGE'S HALL LIME STREET LIVERPOOL PEVSNER CONSIDERS THAT IT CAN HOLD ITS OWN IN COMPARISON WITH ANY NEO-CLASSICAL BUILDING OF ITS PERIOD IN EUROPE. REMARKABLY IT WAS CONCEIVED BY HARVEY LONSDALE ELMES JUST TWENTY FIVE WHEN HE WON TWO COMPETITIONS IN 1840. ELMES WAS NOT A WELL MAN AND THE STRAIN OF THE PROJECT EXACERBATED HIS ILL-HEALTH SO THAT HE DID NOT LIVE TO SEE HIS MASTERPIECE COMPLETED. HE DIED FROM TUBERCULOSIS AT THE AGE OF THIRTY FOUR AFTER WHICH THE BUILDING WAS PLACED INTO THE CAPABLE HANDS OF CHARLES ROBERT COCKERELL WHO OVERSAW IT THROUGH TO COMPLETION IN 1854. THE ALL-ROUND SKIN OF GIANT CORINTHIAN COLUMNS IMBUES IT WITH GRANDEUR AND THE AIR OF MONUMENTALITY SOUGHT BY THE CITY ( AND). ELMES'S APPROACH TO ANCIENT SOURCES WAS NOT DOGMATIC SO WHILST THE STYLE MIGHT BROADLY BE DESCRIBED AS GREEK REVIVAL CERTAIN ASPECTS SUCH AS THE CORINTHIAN COLUMNS ARE THOROUGHLY ROMAN IN DERIVATION.. GRADE I LISTED.IT WAS BUILT TO RECTIFY LIVERPOOL'S LACK OF A VENUE FOR MAJOR FESTIVALS AND ASSEMBLIES; LATER THE NEED FOR COURTS WAS TACKED ON. IT IS STILL A FOCUS OF CULTURAL AND COMMUNITY EVENTS IN THE CITY. 2011 COPYRIGHT (Photograph and text in Extra Info) STEPHEN RICHARDS PHOTO PAPER THICKNESS NORMAL PHOTOGRAPH THICKNESS NOTES REF NO SRV-3350- PHOTO SIZE SIZE 6 X 4 inches CONDITION: SOME CROPPING OR WHITE LINES TOP/BOTTOM MAY OCCUR DUE TO PHOTO RATIO WATERMARK IF PRESENT ON THE IMAGE WILL NOT APPEAR ON ITEM SENT TO YOU: NOTES This is a print and supply service for an image that is COPYRIGHT (Photograph and text in Extra Info) Stephen Richards obtained from GEOGRAPH and licensed for reuse under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic License Details available here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ MANY OTHER ITEMS ARE BEING ADDED TO MY SHOP DAILY
