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.

The Portico Library, Mosley St
The Portico Library was opened in 1806, following a decision taken by a group of Manchester businessmen in 1803 to found an institute uniting the advantages of a newsroom and a library. It is a listed Grade II* building of Runcorn stone, a fine example of Neo-Classical architecture designed by Thomas Harrison, architect of the earlier Liverpool Lyceum and a leading exponent of the classical revival of which the Portico is one of the finest examples.
