Description
The Town Hall in Huntingdon was built in 1745, incorporating earlier fittings and undergoing additions and alterations in 1817. It is a three-storey building made of red brick, topped with a cupola and featuring a ground floor portico supported by paired Tuscan columns. The facade has a 2:3:2 bay arrangement, with the central bay set forward and a pediment above, which is an alteration from 1817. The windows are sash with glazing bars, except for the ground floor, which has French casements over the porch. The top floor features an arched window in the centre. The east and west fronts include Venetian windows and a Tuscan loggia on the ground floor, added in 1817 for the meat market, although the loggia on the west side is now blocked. Inside, the Assembly Room contains notable pictures and chandeliers. There is a late 17th century staircase with turned balusters and moulded strings. The building has hipped slate roofs and a clock in the pediment.
