Description
The Parish Council Chambers, located at 96-98 Main Street in East Mains, was built in 1913. This two-storey, three-bay building originally served as the parish council chambers. It features a sandstone construction with a deep ashlar base course on the main elevation, above which is stugged, squared, and coursed masonry accented with ashlar dressings and stone mullions. There is a lintel band course at the ground level and an eaves band course, while the sides and rear are made of squared and snecked rubble.
The principal elevation showcases a moulded and corniced door surround at the center, which includes an acanthus keystone. It has two-leaf doors and a plate glass fanlight above. An inscribed panel in a moulded surround states 'Parish Council Chambers 1913'. Above this, a single window on the first floor rises from the panel, flanked by scrolls and set within a semicircular pediment that features a carved shield. The ground floor has tripartite windows, while the first floor has bipartite windows, both breaking the eaves in piended dormerheads.
The side elevations are blank, and there is a modern extension at the rear. The original timber sash and case windows, with small-pane upper sashes and plate glass lowers, are retained on the first floor, while modern replacements are found on the ground floor. The roof is covered with grey slate and includes lead flashing, profiled guttering, and decorative cast-iron rainwater heads.
Additionally, there are gatepiers and a wall at the entrance, consisting of a pair of square ashlar gatepiers with carved details and cushion caps. These lead to stone steps and are flanked by coursed stone dwarf walls topped with saddleback coping.
