The City of Birmingham Council House is the home of Birmingham City Council in Birmingham England .
The council house was designed by Yeoville Thomason , and construction began on the building in 1874 when the first stone was laid by the then mayor Joseph Chamberlain . The building was completed in 1879 and cost a total of £163,000 to construct. The side of the building, which faces Chamberlain Square , is the entrance and facade of the Museum and Art Gallery which is housed within the same building for the most part. The entire building is connected by an intricatly designed archway to Gas Hall which features as an exhibition hall. The building follows the same architectural styles as the Council House. |
