Victoria Law Courts, Grade I listed courthouse in Corporation Street, Birmingham, England
The Victoria Law Courts features red brick and terracotta materials with octagonal towers, conical roofs, and detailed ornamentation across its asymmetrical facade.
Queen Victoria laid the foundation stone in 1887, and the Prince and Princess of Wales inaugurated the completed building in July 1891.
The courthouse displays Victorian architectural elements through its sandy-yellow terracotta interior and sculptures by Harry Bates and William Silver Frith.
The building continues to function as Birmingham Magistrates' Court, handling local judicial proceedings after Crown Court cases moved to Queen Elizabeth II Courts.
The structure incorporates deep red terracotta from North Wales, selected through an architectural competition won by Aston Webb and Ingress Bell.
