Smethwick Council House, Grade II listed town hall in Smethwick, England
The Smethwick Council House exhibits a symmetrical red brick facade with buff terracotta details and features a central clock tower on High Street.
The municipal building, designed by Frederick J. Gill in Baroque style, opened its doors in 1907 after construction costs reached £17,000.
The council chamber contains numerous busts and paintings that document the municipal history of Smethwick through different governmental periods.
The building underwent a £350,000 restoration project in 2019, replacing terracotta facings and roofing slates to maintain its structural integrity.
Three bells manufactured by John Taylor & Co operate within the clock tower, which survived an unexploded bomb during World War II.
