Description
The Court House, also known as the Town Hall, is a large classical building located in the Market Place, constructed in 1826 by George Smith. It features two storeys, with the upper storey serving as a piano nobile. The front of the building has a central portico supported by four fluted Ionic columns, along with an entablature and a pediment topped with an acroterion. This portico is set on a projecting ground floor podium that has three sash windows, while the side bays on the ground floor are blank. On the first floor, there are three large windows with glazing bars, framed by flat pilasters. Broader pilasters at the corners support the entablature, and behind it, a low-pitched leaded roof culminates in a pediment on each side.
