Description
|
The Pevsner Guide says of
Isling Town Hall that it is, "... not
grand but smallish, asymmetrical, and
mixed in style, though all steel-framed
and Portland stone faced with cast-iron
panels. The first part is
restrained English Baroque, with an
engaged temple front on Upper Street
marking the public hall. The later
part is more Neoclassical. The
same mixture inside, with late C17 style
predominant. Lavish marble
imperial stair to the octagonal council
chamber; handsome Graeco-Roman domed
committee room corridor with pedimented
doorcases."
The building was given
Grade II Listed status in September of
1994.
