Merthyr Tydfil Town Hall, Grade II* listed municipal building in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales.
The town hall features red Cattybrook brick construction with orange terracotta details and a symmetrical facade containing seven distinct architectural bays.
Built between 1896 and 1898, the town hall served as headquarters for Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council during the region's industrial growth period.
The building's steps witnessed the 1900 election announcement of Keir Hardie as Member of Parliament, marking a turning point in Welsh labor politics.
Following extensive renovations, the building now functions as the Red House arts center, offering creative spaces and cultural facilities to the community.
The structure includes a clock tower installed by Flooks & Williams in 1903, with decorative heraldic lions flanking the main entrance.
