Random coursed cut limestone walls with render to raised basement, tooled stone quoins and recessed panels above openings to facade. Timber sash windows with tooled round-headed block-and-start surrounds and stone sills. Tooled doorcase with entablature and timber panelled door with overlight, approached by perron stairs with wrought-iron handrail. Glazed timber porch to rear with pitched slate roof and bargeboards. Site is bounded by snecked stone wall with cast-iron gate to rear.
The composition of this former town hall is articulated by a variety of stonework and highly-finished dressings. Notable features including the perron stairs, detailed openings, bolection-panelled entrance door are architecturally significant. The impact of this structure on the streetscape of one of Carrick-on-Shannon's main thoroughfares highlights its significance as a public building.
