Description
The Town Hall, built in 1862 by FS Spencer Yates and enlarged to the rear in 1893, is located on Great George's Road in Crosby. It is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with freestone dressings and features a hipped slate roof, showcasing an Italianate style. The building has a square plan with a wing to the right and an extension at the rear. It stands two storeys high and has three symmetrical windows. The façade includes a plinth, a triglyph frieze on the ground floor, and a panelled frieze on the second floor, topped with a prominent dentilled cornice.
The ground floor features a large central porch supported by Tuscan columns arranged distyle-in-antis, with a frieze and cornice that extend around the porch, which is capped by a balustraded parapet. This porch protects a round-headed doorway, flanked by four-pane sashed windows that have moulded architraves, panelled aprons, and sills on consoles. The first floor has windows with pedimented architraves; the central window includes stained glass and a segmental pediment on consoles, while the others have altered glazing and triangular pediments on consoles. There is a flat-roofed single-storey wing to the right. The interior has not been inspected. The Town Hall forms a group with the former Christ Church School located opposite.
