Market Hall (Siola)

Market hall in classical style. 2-storeys 5-bays, of roughly dressed blocks of quarried stone laid in regular courses, a hipped slate roof, which is on projecting bracketed eaves to the front, and stone end stacks. In the arcaded lower storey are tall round-headed arches, originally open. The end bays are part infilled with rubble stone and 3-light wood-framed windows. The central bays are infilled with glazing and with central doors. Arches have an impost band, keystones of reconstituted stone painted white with a variety of moulded heads. In the spandrels are fluted medallions painted white with foliage bosses, probably of cast iron. The spandrel of the L end bay has a small 4-pane window. A freestone plat band is painted white. In the upper storey are tall 24-pane horned sash windows renewed in original openings under deep bracketed hoods.

The ground level is higher at the rear, which has stone steps to a rear porch at upper-storey level, and to its L a stone porch at intermediate level.

On the L side of the lower storey is a blocked round-headed arch, originally opening to the rear behind the Royal Madoc Arms Hotel. The upper storey windows have panelled shutters.
