St George's Hall, Lime Street, Liverpool: the circular concert hall with caryatids supporting the cast-iron balconies

NOTES: The design for St George's Hall was won in open competition by Harvey Lonsdale Elmes in 1839. Construction began in 1841 and after Elmes's death in 1847 work was continued by the Corporation Surveyor, John Weightman, until C. R. Cockerell took over as architect in 1851.
