Free Public Library and Museum, Liverpool, the gift of W. Brown, Esq., to his fellow-townsmen, 1860. 'The new library and museum is situated on the northerly side of Shaw's-brow, and presents a centre, flanks and wings. The centre is a deeply-recessed hexastyle Corinthian portico, after the Temple of Juno Stator in Rome, having an inner row of four columns...the floor of the portico being attained by steps...The remainder of the front is inclosed from the street by a stone balustrade and iron gates. The two wings have each four Corinthian pilasters...the external walls being finished in Staffordshire bricks'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
