Manchester Town Hall Extension, Gothic Revival town hall in Manchester, England
The Manchester Town Hall Extension connects to the main town hall through two covered bridges and features an eight-story structure with sandstone exterior walls.
The extension, completed in 1938 at a cost of £750,000, was officially opened by King George VI and commemorated with a carved stone at Mount Street.
The building contains stained glass windows displaying Lancastrian coats of arms, designed by George Kruger Gray, reflecting regional heraldic traditions.
Visitors can access the building through the Mount Street entrance, where a reception desk provides directions to various municipal departments and meeting rooms.
The building incorporates an irregular plan with a concave southern facade facing the Central Library, spanning 200 feet along Library Walk.
