It is a two-story 40 by 60 feet (12 m × 18 m) plan building of orange-yellow brick. It has round-arched doorways, with double doors. It has gargoyles.[3]
Not only did the building include "a large hall, jail, fire station, and council chambers under one roof, but with its massive scale and flamboyant tower, it also served as a statement of strong civic pride."[3]
