The structure, which is now used as an art gallery and community events venue, is a Grade II* listed building.

[5] The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage with seven bays facing onto Pendre; the main hall section, formed by the five bays on the right which were slightly projected forward, featured arched openings on the ground floor and mullioned and transomed windows with hood moulds on the first floor.

In the early 1890s, a clock tower with a pyramid-shaped roof was installed above the second bay on the left at the expense of the then mayor, David Davies.

[11] After the public library relocated to the Canolfan Teifi in 1994, an art gallery was established on the ground floor of the building.

[12] A substantial programme of refurbishment works was carried out with financial support from the Heritage Lottery Fund by a not-for profit local regeneration company, Menter Aberteifi, at a cost of £2.5 million and completed in 2008.
