Description: | 1964.
View of the Commercial and Technical Library located on the ground floor of the Municipal Buildings in Calverley Street. The space had undergone conversion in 1955 from the former Victorian sculpture gallery. The ceiling here disguises the beautiful tiles and the bookcases are built around graceful pillars and arches. The only feature remaining from the original room designed by 19th century architect, George Corson, is the parquet floor. In the June of 2007, after extensive renovations, the intricate ceiling, pillars and arches were revealed once more and the parquet floor restored. The room has been renamed the 'Tiled Hall' and operates as an elegant cafeteria. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Municipal Buildings Library Calverley Street Tiled Hall Corson | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
