Ashlar Civic Column Dome Edwardian Listed Portico Casement Copper Pediment
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur and architectural splendor of City Hall in Kingston Upon Hull, East Yorkshire. Built between 1903 and 1909, this magnificent structure stands as a testament to Edwardian craftsmanship and design. Following war damage, the building underwent extensive restoration in the early 1950s. The careful attention to detail during this process ensured that City Hall regained its former glory, preserving its historical significance for future generations to appreciate. The photograph highlights several notable features of City Hall's exterior. The dome crowning the building adds an air of elegance and prominence, while the pediment above it exudes a sense of authority and importance. The columns flanking the entrance create a striking visual impact, evoking classical influences within an Edwardian context. The casement windows are meticulously designed with precision and symmetry, allowing natural light to flood into the interior spaces. A portico frames the main entrance with grace and sophistication, inviting visitors into this remarkable civic landmark. City Hall is listed as a heritage site due to its exceptional architectural value. Its copper accents gleam under sunlight against ashlar stone walls - a perfect blend of materials that epitomize Baroque Revival style. Through John Turner's lens, we are transported back in time to witness this iconic piece of history preserved forever on photographic paper. This image serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to marvel at the beauty created by human hands over a century ago.
