A modest example of a characteristic building type, still in use, with historical and civic aspirations. Demonstrates the establishment of the town and its early administration. A critical element in the streetscape of the Bayley Street Precinct.
The original town hall and road board office built in the 1890's with a respectable 2 room deep brick facade and characteristic timber-framed, corrugated iron clad structure behind. The brick part of the building employs classical motifs and has stucco strings, pilasters and pediments. A later classically derived entrance portico to the offices.
The place represents the earliest remaining evidence of accommodation for the local government. It also served as the meeting place of the Mechanics Institute. It also served as a cinema and had a picture garden on the eastern side. The latter's projection room is still intact.
