Public Library

The building is a public library, designed in the Mannerist style and constructed in two storeys with a three-bay front. It features Bath freestone detailing, with red brick facing on the first floor and channelled grey local stone on the ground floor. The design includes a balustraded parapet, a modillion cornice, and a plain entablature. The central segmental pediment is supported by paired composite columns, which frame a tripartite first-floor window that has a lobed balustraded balcony. The window is flanked by deeply recessed windows with broken pedimented architraves and blind balustraded aprons. There is a cornice and lettered entablature on the first floor. Below the first-floor columns, advanced wave-capped pillars flank a panelled double door entrance. The ground floor features stilted segmental arched openings with truncated nook shafts and a keystone at the center.
