ItalianateGlossary Term [1] façade, with much sculpture. Weightman produced a broadly similar composition - a six-columnGlossary Term [2] CorinthianGlossary Term [3] porticoGlossary Term [4] with atticGlossary Term [5], flanked by five-bayGlossary Term [6] wings and projecting end bays - but in a severely Graeco-RomanGlossary Term [7] style, in the mould of St George's Hall. The great flight of steps in front was not formed until c. 1902; originally there was a broad, elevated terrace here. Bombed in 1941, the Library was rebuilt 1957-60 and the Museum 1963-9 by Ronald Bradbury, behind Weightman's preserved façade. The 19th century skyline was wrecked in the process by a rooftop addition. Rear extension to the Library 1978.
