BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Georgian 'Commercial Buildings' were designed by architect John Clark and built at a cost of £28,000 in 1829. Its eye-catching columns were 40 feet high and inside was a reading room stocked with daily newspapers, available to read in exchange for an annual subscription. The Commercial Buildings were demolished in 1872 and the site was to become that of the Royal Exchange Building. Please explore my ebay shop for more antique prints.
