Place & story
A building of 1909–10
Swinford Town Hall was designed in 1909 and built in 1909–10. The architectural inventory attributes its design to Joseph Steen Cairns. Behind its two-storey front, a long single-storey wing makes the building T-shaped. The entrance and its flanking windows have rounded heads, while a small iron balcony marks the centre upstairs. Timber consoles support the projecting roofline. Inside, the 2010 survey recorded a central entrance hall with timber door surrounds and panelled doors. [2]
