Public buildings

NOTES: This is a coloured version of the print from the published work by Thomas Malton, A picturesque tour through the cities of London and Westminster (London [1792-1802]), vol. 1, pl. [XLI]. The plates in the published work were uncoloured, but there were evidently coloured versions of the plates which appeared after the published work had come out. (The published work is in the RIBA Library at reference EW E.d.217.)

NOTES: The design of this building 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.
