View of the 1885 building fronting College Road, part of the Edward Baines Memorial Wing and designed by Alfred Waterhouse, a well respected architect of public buildings of the day. It was partially funded by subscription and Sir Edward Baines, Chariman of the council agreed to the use of ?3000, collected via a testimonial fund in his honour, towards the construction of the building. It was described in a brochure of 1908 as Collegiate Gothic in style. The facade was built in red pressed bricks and the dressings were of Bolton Wood Stone. This section of the Edward Baines Memorial Wing opened in July 1885. The building is now part of the Textile Department at the University of Leeds and also houses the Great Hall where Degree Ceremonies take place. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Leeds University Edward Baines College Road Yorkshire College | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
