The Guildhall, Grade II* listed gildhouse in Newport, England

The Guildhall presents a neoclassical design with three bays facing Quay Street, featuring a tetrastyle portico with Ionic columns and a dentilled pediment.

Local civic leaders commissioned architect John Nash to design this new municipal building in the early 19th century, completing construction in 1819.

The Museum of Island History, established in 1996 within the Guildhall, displays collections from archaeological materials previously stored at Carisbrooke Castle Museum.

The ground floor functions as a council information center, providing services to residents while the upper chambers accommodate meetings and civic ceremonies.

A clock tower with a cupola was integrated into the southwest corner in 1887 specifically to mark Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee celebrations.
