A late 19th century view of Birmingham Town Hall, a concert hall and venue for popular assemblies opened in 1834 and situated in Victoria Square, Birmingham, England. It was designed by architects Joseph Hansom and Edward Welch and became the first significant work of the 19th-century revival of Roman architecture, a style chosen here in the context of the highly charged radicalism of 1830s Birmingham for its republican associations. The design was based on the proportions of the Temple of Castor and Pollux in the Roman Forum.
