Description
Queenborough Town Hall is a building dating from the 18th to early 19th century. The front elevation features two storeys of yellow brick, with a plain brick pediment at the center flanked by parapet walls. It has a pyramidal roof covered in Welsh slate, topped by an open cupola with an ornamental weathervane. In the center of the pediment, there is a projecting clock bracket, with two small square lights on either side. A plaster cornice runs along the top.
On the first floor, there are three large diamond-paned windows, with the center window designed as a modified Venetian window. The ground floor is supported by four free-standing Tuscan columns that create an arcade, holding up a plain architrave and entablature moulding made of plaster. Behind the columns are three sash windows set in painted brick. There is a passageway leading to Court Hall Place.
To the right, there is a two-storey brick extension from the 19th century, which features one sash window in a round-headed architrave on the first floor and two sash windows on the ground floor. The rear elevation is constructed of red brick and includes one dormer and iron ties.
