Description

The Town Hall, originally a storehouse, features rubble stone walls and a pitched slated roof with a 20th-century red brick end stack, along with cast iron gutters and downpipes. It is a two-storey building with a three-bay facade. The ground floor has three arched openings, each with paired, painted, boarded timber doors that have glazed upper panels, accessed by stone steps that span the full length of the facade. The upper storey contains 16-pane timber sash windows with slate sills and flat heads. Between the centre and left bays is a fixed, painted circular plaque with a corbel and a stepped, arched crest. The crest is inscribed with "1848. Town Hall" and features a depiction of a wild boar, or "Twrch Trwyth" from Mabinogion legend, surrounded by the inscription "Corporation of St. Clears. Prif Cufeillach Trwy'r Byd".

On the left side, there is a flight of stone steps leading to a first-storey entry porch, which has a pitched, slated roof, a plain barge board, a painted boarded door to the stair, and a small 4-pane sash window on the south wall. The main south gable has a timber barge board and a roughcast rendered wall with a raised band at the second storey. The rear of the building has similar 16-pane sashes on the first floor, while the ground floor openings have been altered with later 20th-century windows inserted in the south and centre, along with a later 20th-century boarded timber door in the north bay.

The ground floor has been entirely altered, featuring a mid to late 20th-century panelled ceiling and an internal partition wall. The upper storey is said to have visible bolted trusses and a boarded timber floor.
