Detached three-bay two-storey neoclassical-style hall over raised basement, built c.1925, having pedimented portico to front elevation, and six-bay side elevations. Half-hipped and pitched artificial slate roofs having cast-iron roof vents. Open-bed pediment with balcony supported on consoles over entrance, flanked by pediments to southwest and northeast elevations, that to former having engaged Doric columns. Rendered walls with cornice, frieze, architrave, plinth and double-height pilasters. Round-headed central blind opening within portico, with half-round pediment flanked by double-height engaged marble Doric columns and render pilasters. Timber sliding sash windows, one-over-one pane to front and two-over-two pane to side elevations, with stone sills, and timber panelled double-leaf door with render surround and with flight of steps.

This building is of apparent architectural design and this, together with its size and scale marks it as a notable and imposing building in the streetscape. The decorative neoclassical style of the hall is heightened by features such as the columns, pediments and stresses the importance of the building in the town. Its façade is further enlivened by interesting elements such as the recessed panel, its surround and the balcony.
