Description
The Western Outbuilding to the Town Hall was built in 1750 by Gibbs and was formerly known as Bank Hall, the seat of the Patten family. Pevsner described it as the "finest house of its date in South Lancashire." This Palladian-style building features three storeys with rusticated stone facing over red brick, a hipped slate roof, a brick parapet, and a stone modillioned cornice. The main front has a slight central projection supported by four and three-quarter Corinthian columns.
