It was damaged in the Second World War and was reconstructed with some additions of debatable quality. It has a portico of six Corinthian columns with a pediment modelled on south side of St George's Hall. Originally built to house the Earl of Derby's natural history collection, the project caused some controversy and a wealthy merchant, William Brown came forward and offered to defray the cost.
