Description

The Town Hall, Library, and Trustee Savings Bank is a municipal office building constructed in 1857 by A.B. Higham of Newcastle. It features rough-faced snecked rubble with quoins on a chamfered plinth and a first-floor string course. The building has graduated slate roofs with stone copings, kneelers, and corniced stone chimneys, all designed in the Gothic style.

The asymmetrical north front consists of two storeys with an attic and five bays. The central tower has a doorway with a pointed head on the ground floor, which supports a clock turret. The windows are mullioned and transomed, some of which are adorned with hoodmoulds. The bank entrance is located on the left side, while the library on the right showcases a large four-light first-floor window with cusped heads under a pointed arch, flanked by niches. The symmetrical three-bay west return maintains a similar style, featuring a central gabled dormer and additional dormers on the main front.
