Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
Birmingham Town Hall is a Grade I listed concert hall and venue for popular assemblies opened in 1834 and situated in Victoria Square, Birmingham. The first of the monumental town halls that would come to characterise the cities of Victorian England, and also the first significant work of the 19th-century revival of Roman architecture. It was created as a home for the Birmingham Triennial Music Festival established in 1784, the purpose of which was to raise funds for the General Hospital, after St Philip's Church (later to become a Cathedral) became too small to hold the festival, and for public meetings.
