Manchester City Hall
Bring a little Manchester home.
Slate Desk Plaque · 11 × 7 inches
A book, a pen and a page of work are ready on the desk, with the small plaque set nearby where there is time to notice its picture. Manchester City Hall's Gothic clock tower rises above its street-facing walls and a streetcar, bringing civic architecture and travel into the same view.
A postcard from 1907–1908 records Manchester City Hall with its Gothic clock tower, street-facing elevations and a streetcar. Preserved by the New York Public Library, the image puts civic architecture beside ordinary travel. The photograph's period identifies the view without supplying a new construction date.
The City Hall scene keeps Manchester's public building within street life. Make room beside the pen cup or books, keeping the small display within reach of an ordinary day's work at home.
