Description
The Jubilee Building in Chippenham, dated 1887, serves as the offices of the Chippenham Trustees. It is constructed from squared coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and a plinth, topped with a slate roof and a stone stack featuring a cornice on the left. The building has a double-depth plan and stands three storeys high with a four-window range. The windows are horned 2/2-pane sashes that decrease in height towards the top. The three leftmost windows are set forward under a pediment that displays the town crest along with the inscription "UNITY AND LOYALTY 1837-1887" in the tympanum. There are string courses between the floors, chamfered rusticated quoins, and moulded architraves around the windows, with cornices on the upper floor and pediments on the lower floors.
To the right, a recessed range features a smaller pediment and similar windows, leading up to double 2-panel doors that have raised panels and bolection moulding. These doors are flanked by pilasters with sunken panels that support an entablature and pediment. A Civic Society plaque to the left of the door commemorates Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. Inside, the stone-flagged hall includes an open-well, closed string Jacobean-style staircase with square moulded balusters, chamfered newels with moulded cornices, and turned finials.
