Methodist Central Hall, Birmingham, Romanesque Revival hall on Corporation Street, Birmingham, England

The Methodist Central Hall stands in red brick and terracotta, featuring a prominent tower at the northern end of Corporation Street with decorative sculptures.

Built between 1903 and 1904 by architects E. and J.A. Harper, the hall originally provided seating for 2,000 people and contained three school halls.

The building served as a central gathering place for Methodist worship until 1991, when it transformed into the Que Club music venue.

The ground floor contains twelve retail bays along Corporation Street, with four shops maintaining their original historical frontage design.

The corner turrets of the building incorporate design elements resembling Indian chattris, adding an unexpected architectural fusion to this English structure.
