Penrith Town Hall, Town hall and Grade II listed building in Penrith, United Kingdom

The red sandstone building at Corney Square features Corinthian pilasters, round-headed windows, and decorative balustrades across its six-bay Renaissance Revival facade.

Originally two separate neoclassical houses from the late 18th century, the structure was converted into a municipal building in 1906 with funding from Andrew Carnegie.

The council chamber on the first floor has witnessed numerous local government meetings and civic ceremonies throughout its extensive municipal history.

The administrative offices relocated to Voreda House in June 2024, with customer services available at 0300 373 3300 during standard business hours.

The basement served as a civil defense reporting center during World War II, managing accommodation arrangements for evacuees in Cumberland and Westmorland.
