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. The square panels in the coved ceiling and the continuous wooden cornice above the columns conceal outlet vents for heating and ventilation. Suspended from the ceiling are gasoliers.
NOTES: The original theatre was designed by Chadwick & Watson in 1914. In 1986 it was extensively refurbished by Renton Howard Wood Levin Partnership, including the restoration of the auditorium. See RIBA130800 for a colour version of this image.
