Great George Street Congregational Church, Neoclassical church in Liverpool, England.
The church features a semicircular portico supported by Corinthian columns and a circular tower topped with a shallow dome at Great George Street.
Built between 1840 and 1841 after the original 1811 chapel was destroyed by fire, the church replaced a structure that held 2000 people.
The building transformed from a religious institution to The Black-E community arts center, reflecting the changing needs of Liverpool residents.
Located at the intersection of Great George Street and Nelson Street, the Grade II listed building maintains its original double staircase under the dome.
The exterior walls darkened from industrial pollution over time, leading locals to informally call it 'The Blackie' before its official name change.
