Hôtel de ville de Liverpool

La Mairie de Liverpool est un bâtiment situé à Liverpool, en Angleterre, au Royaume-Uni. Il est enregistré sur la National Heritage List for England comme monument classé de Grade I, et est décrit dans cette liste comme «une des meilleures mairies du XVIIIème siècle». Les auteurs de la collection Buildings of England mentionnent sa «magnifique échelle», et envisagent qu'il est «probablement la suite civique plus magnifique du pays», et «un exemple exceptionnel et complet du décor géorgien tardif». Il n'est pas un bâtiment administratif mais une suite civique, qui abrite le parloir du maire et la chambre du conseil de la mairie; l'administration locale est située dans les proches Municipal Buildings. La mairie a été bâtie entre 1749 et 1754 selon la création de John Wood l'Ancien pour remplacer une mairie antérieure proche. En 1785 a été ajouté un agrandissement au nord dessiné par James Wyatt. Après un incendie de 1795, la mairie a été reconstruite et a été ajouté un dôme dessiné aussi par Wyatt. Des visites guidées du bâtiment sont organisées pour le public, et il y a aussi des mariages qui s'y déroulent.
