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.

There's a larger version here for anyone whose interested http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=7161100&size=lg

I think St. George would be extremely pleased by your take of it. Talk about a dignified looking building...What a photo!

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