[1][3][4] The building was designed in the neoclassical style, built in buff brick at a cost of circa £1,000 and was officially opened with a celebratory ball on 28 June 1819.

[2][6] The building was subsequently occupied by the Brigg Operatic Society and then by the Trustee Savings Bank; it was comprehensively refurbished by Glanford Borough Council between 1989 and 1990 before being re-opened by the Princess of Wales as a tourist information centre in February 1991.

[7] Further improvements included the provision of digital displays in the tourist information centre so that visitors could be made aware of future local events.

[8] The bell from the clock tower was restored by the local Rotary Club with financial support from the National Lottery Community Fund and placed on a specially-designed plinth in front of the building in 2005.

[9] A programme of refurbishment works, which involved replacement of the timbers, external repainting and repairs to the weather vane, was carried out in September 2018.
