Town Hall, North Street, Elgin

The Town Hall on North Street in Elgin was designed by William Kininmonth of Rowand Anderson, Kininmonth & Paul and built between 1957 and 1961, with an extension added by the same firm in 1975. This rectilinear Modernist building features interlocking blocks and has a reinforced concrete frame with pre-cast aggregate facing panels over brick walls.

The north elevation is nearly symmetrical, with a central block flanked by lower recessed wings. There are steps leading up to three boarded two-leaf doors, which are situated between broad windows. The first floor projects on columns and has five large windows with original signage below.

On the east elevation, there are four windows on both floors to the right and two doorways to the left. The west elevation includes various additions to the backstage area. The south elevation features five large windows on both floors.

The building has geometric timber windows and a flat roof.

Inside, there is a central timber-lined hall with projecting balconies and canopies, as well as a raked gallery at the rear. A low stage with an angled acoustic board is present, along with original lighting fixtures. The entrance hall contains sculpted stone from the previous town hall, a timber-lined telephone kiosk, original signage for the telephone and toilets, and stairs leading up to a supper room and balconies, with glass globe lighting fixtures.

To the northeast of the Town Hall, there is a former water feature and two flagpoles. This area includes a wall bearing the town crest flanked by angels, along with brick troughs and planters.
