Manchester Law Library, Gothic Revival library building in Manchester, England.
The Manchester Law Library exhibits Venetian Gothic architecture with three divided bays, elaborate tracery, and ornate moldings around the openings.
Built between 1884 and 1885, the library was designed by architect Thomas Hartas to serve as a meeting space for the Manchester Law Society.
The first floor reading room maintains its original features, including a central oak table, three fireplaces, and tall bookcases filled with legal documents.
Members of the legal profession can access the library's collection of legal textbooks, law reports, and journals through an annual subscription system.
Three roundels of stained glass within the building display portraits of judges wearing traditional wigs, reflecting the legal heritage of the structure.
