Portico Library Entrance, Charlotte Street

When it opened in 1806, the Portico occupied the whole of the building (Image]) and its entrance was on Mosley Street with four Ionic columns set slightly forward and steps between the columns. Today, the ground floor is tenanted by The Bank, a public house that takes its name from the Bank of Athens that leased the ground floor in 1921. The library now occupies what became the first floor and its (markedly less-dramatic) entrance is on Charlotte Street.
