The picture is from a suggestion (in 1918) of a part of a building in a developed Birmingham. Who can guess what it was supposed to be ?

Would it have been anything to do with proposals for Curzon St Station?

Could be Snow Hill Station by the size of it, there is a sort of booking Hall
 
Smtr, Alf and Ray seem to have got it in combination. It was a drawing of a suggested booking hall at new st station. I didn't think it looked at all like a booking hall, but I was obviously wrong there. Below is the suggested new Municipal buildings from the same book
