Luton Town Hall : ウィキペディア英語版 | Luton Town Hall
Luton Town Hall is situated at the junction between Manchester Street, Upper George Street and George Street, Luton, England;〔(Luton Council offices )〕 the current building was completed in 1936 on the site of the older Town Hall which was burnt down 19 July 1919, following the Peace Day Riots. ==First town hall: 1846—1919==
The original Town Hall was built in the classical style with Dorian columns supporting a frieze designed by Luton architects John Williams and Sons in 1846 and was built for a total cost excluding the purchasing of the land for £2,200.〔The History of Luton by Frederick Davis published 1855 page 165〕 It was built by the Town Hall Company to hold public meetings and entertainment in the town and was only bought by Luton town council in 1874. In 1856 a small tower and clock was added in commemoration of the Crimean War. The prosperity of Bedfordshire in the early part of the 20th century led to the expansion of the original town hall, and a public house and other neighbouring buildings were converted to provide additional office and administration. Some discussions had taken place amongst the councillors about replacing the older parts of the complex, but with the onset of World War I in 1914 these plans were shelved.
