Runcorn Town Hall, Grade II listed town hall in Halton, England

The Renaissance Revival building features a Tuscan portico, round-headed windows, and rusticated quoins at each corner of its three-bay structure.

Built between 1853 and 1856 as Halton Grange mansion for industrialist Thomas Johnson, the property became municipal offices in the 1930s.

The entrance hall contains a Minton mosaic floor depicting a young girl, likely connected to the Johnson family who first owned the building.

The building houses the mayor's parlour, committee rooms, reception areas, and a modern council chamber for Halton Borough Council meetings.

Following financial losses during the American Civil War, the Johnson brothers sold the mansion to Charles Hazlehurst for £1,230,000 in today's value.
