Description
Farnborough Town Hall, built in 1897 by George Sherrin, is located on Guildford Road West in the center of Victorian Farnborough, at a prominent junction of roads. The building features a symmetrical facade and is two storeys high, with three blank windows on the upper level. The roof is slate, hipped, and laid in diminishing courses, topped with a large moulded and bracketed eaves cornice. The walls are constructed of red brick with Bath stone dressings, which include a first floor band, corner pilasters above the band, quoins below, and a plinth. The centerpiece of the facade has an eaves cornice that extends over an arch. The first floor windows consist of strings of casements, while the ground floor features mullions and transoms set within arches. The wings of the building are designed in a similar style.
