The building itself was designed by George
Corson, a Leeds architect with Scottish roots who in fact won the competition
to do so. He divided the building into a 'business side' situated on the ground
floor and a Free Public Library on the first. The present restoration work has
now fully restored the Tiled Hall to its original magnificence, after a £1.5m
refurbishment of the gallery and the adjacent Art Gallery. The renovation was
completed in June 2007, including opening up the magnificent Victorian tiled
hall (used as a café and bookshop) which links the gallery and the library. At first
floor level there is direct access from the gallery to the Art Library.
