Description
The Music Hall, formerly known as No.11 The Square, is a civic hall built in 1839 by Edward Hiram Haycock. The building features an ashlar-faced exterior, which is rusticated at the basement level. It stands three storeys tall and has a five-window range in a Neo-classical style, characterized by a pedimented central bay that projects forward. A giant Ionic portico is positioned over the basement storey, which includes a central entrance flanked by tripartite windows that have console brackets supporting entablatures. The upper windows behind the portico are 24-pane sash windows set in stressed architraves, with entablatures above the first floor, and the central window features a pediment. The flanking bays have plain tripartite windows on the lower floor and 24-pane sashes above, each topped with pedimented heads. The interior has been substantially altered and now includes the former Masonic Hall as its main function room, along with the hall of the former Vaughan's Mansion, which is also part of the complex.
