Description
St George's Town Hall is a vestry hall built in 1860 by A Wilson. It is constructed of brick with a Portland stone facade and has a slate roof with brick stacks. The building features a double-depth plan and is designed in the Italianate style. It stands two storeys high and has an eight-window range, with plate-glass sashes in all windows.
The porch, located in the third bay from the right, is supported by banded Doric columns and features a triglyphed frieze and a keyed semi-circular arched doorway with an overlight. Steps leading up to the porch are flanked by iron railings and lead to a similar doorway on the left. The ground floor is rusticated and has square-headed windows, articulated by pilasters that continue to Ionic columns, which separate the first-floor bays and support a dentilled cornice. The frieze of the cornice has the inscription "ERECTED AD 1860." Above the first-floor windows, there are cartouches set in keyed semi-circular arches, each adorned with Corinthian columns leading to a cornice and a blind balustrade on the apron. The front of the building is enclosed by cast-iron railings.
Inside, the vestibule features Doric pilasters and a dentilled cornice, along with a cast-iron balustrade leading to the imperial staircase. The first-floor doors are topped with brackets supporting a cornice over moulded wood architraves. The vestry room at the front includes a panelled dado, Ionic pilasters with a dentilled cornice, a coffered ceiling, and a decorative iron balustrade to the public gallery.
