Summary

[edit]
Description Birmingham Council House. The clock and tower are known locally as, "Big Brum". Construction commenced on the building in 1874 when the first stone was laid by the then mayor Joseph Chamberlain. The building was completed in 1879. The Council House was extended almost immediately, 1881-1885. The architect was again Yeoville Thomason. This was a combined Art Gallery and Museum and also the home of the corporation's Gas Department whose budget subsidised the building as legislation limited the expenditure of ratepayers' taxes on the arts
