Description
Limehouse Town Hall, built in 1879, is a two-storey building constructed of white brick with white stone dressings. The parapet features a central pediment adorned with a cartouche. The ground floor has rusticated quoins, and the building has five windows, which include casements and sashes with archivolts. Balustrades are present above the first-floor windows and over a shallow porch that is supported by paired pillars with composite capitals.
