St. George's Hall, Liverpool
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 14 April 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.
This is a photo of St. George's Hall in Liverpool which many architectural critics believe to be one of the finest neoclassical buildings in the world.
The architect, Harvey Lonsdale Elmes , was only 25 years old when he won the commission yet he never saw it completed as he died of consumption at the age of 34.

Don't know how I missed this one. Beautiful angle to take it from and your b&w as usual is spot-on.
