 Philharmonic Hall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The original Philharmonic Hall opened on August 27, 1849, financed by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Society.
The current Philharmonic Hall was completed in 1939, designed by Herbert J Rowse.
It was built on the site of the previous hall, on Hope Street Liverpool, providing Liverpool with some of the best acoustics and facilities in Europe.

 Orchestra
In 1818, Boston's Handel and Haydn Society was founded, in 1842 the New York Philharmonic was created, in 1848 the Vienna Philharmonic was formed, as was the Hallé Orchestra in Manchester.
Full size orchestras may sometimes be called "symphony orchestras" or "philharmonic orchestras"; these prefixes do not indicate any difference either to the instrumental content or role of the orchestra, but can be useful to distinguish different orchestras based in the same city (for instance, the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra).
In 1781, however, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra was organized from the merchants concert society, and it began a trend towards the formation of civic orchetras which would accelerate into the 19th century.

The Philharmonic Hall is home of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Choir and Society The original hall of the society was built in the 1840's but after a disastrous fire in 1933 it was demolished.
The pub, in its early clays, contained a restaurant on the first floor and was particularly used by gentlemen and their ladies attending the Philharmonic Hall concerts: There were facilities on the upper floor for coachmen waiting for their masters - cocoa was no doubt served to them rather than alcohol though!
The Liverpool Heritage Bureau has described the pub as 'a magnificent Arc Nouveau confection o f stepped gables, turrets, balconies and orioles.' The artist, Frank Norbury, undertook much of the scone carving.
