The Council House is a former municipal building in Soho Road in Handsworth, West Midlands, a suburb of Birmingham in England.
[1] Following significant population growth, largely associated with steam engine manufacturing at Soho Foundry, a local board of health was formed in Handsworth in 1877.
[5] It was designed by Alexander & Henman of Stockton-on-Tees in the Gothic Revival style, built in red brick and terracotta at a cost of £20,662 and was completed in 1879.
[6] The design involved a main frontage of 16 bays facing onto Soho Road.
The council house section, which was broadly symmetrical, featured a five-stage tower in the central bay.
