Description
The Town Hall, built in 1836 by John Aloysius Hansom, is designed in a Greek revival style. The building features a stuccoed and horizontally-rusticated ground floor, with a plain upper section. A platband runs above the ground floor, and a moulded cornice tops the parapet that conceals the slate roof. The central projection includes a first-floor blind Ionic portico in antis, which supports a pediment. On the ground floor, there are three recessed glazing bar sash windows located beneath the spaces between the columns. The rounded wings have three coupled arched windows on the first floor, and to the right, there are doubled half-glazed doors with a transom light above, along with a single glazing bar sash window on the ground floor to the left. The left-hand return front is enhanced with pilasters and features a matching triple-arched window at the corner. The entrance is located below. The building's clever ground plan was designed to fit an awkward site.
