Barrow-in-Furness Town Hall, Victorian municipal building in Barrow-in-Furness, England
The four-story sandstone structure rises 50 meters high and features a six-stage tower with symmetrical composition and geometric tracery throughout its facade.
Construction began in 1882 after William Henry Lynn won the architectural competition, with completion in 1886 and official opening during Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887.
The Queen's Hall displays stained glass windows depicting local industrial heritage and portraits of the Cavendish family who influenced the region's development.
The building functions as an administrative center for Westmorland and Furness Council, with a reception area and multiple government departments serving local residents.
The clock tower required complete reconstruction in 1885 due to structural issues caused by substandard stone usage during initial construction.
