The Municipal Buildings, Grade II listed town hall in Crewe, England
The Municipal Buildings display English Baroque architecture with a symmetrical five-bay facade, featuring Ionic columns and decorative sandstone carvings throughout the structure.
Constructed between 1902 and 1905 by architect Henry Hare, the building emerged during Crewe's transformation from a small township into a major railway junction.
The building's carved figures represent local trades and industries, while its weather vane resembles Stephenson's Rocket, connecting to Crewe's railway heritage.
