Tips for your visit

• Plan on a short stop of 10 to 20 minutes if you are mainly looking at the exterior and the setting, and longer if you pair it with a walk through the neighborhood.
• Daylight is best for photographs and for reading the street around you, so aim for morning or late afternoon.
• Access can change, so check current opening hours and whether the building is open to visitors before you make a special trip.
• Wear comfortable shoes and bring water, as Birmingham can be hot and humid in summer, and most of the fun is in walking between places.
