Borough Buildings - 58 - 72 John Bright Street

Between the former Futurist Cinema and the Alexandra Theatre is the Borough Buildings at 58 - 72 John Bright Street.

 

The Borough Buildings is a fifteen bay Neo-Georgian building, 1909 by Marcus O Type. English Garden Wall bond brickwork contrasting red stretcher rows and blue brick headers. Centrepiece with open pediment and oval window. The ground floor was another car showroom.

 

From Pevsner Architectural Guides: Birmingham by Andy Foster.

 

 

If it was a car showroom, was the ground floor filled in when it stopped being one?
