Municipal Buildings, Boston

The Municipal Buildings are in West Street, Boston, a town in Lincolnshire, in England.

[1] In the early 19th century, the fish market at the centre of the Exchange Buildings in the Market Place was converted for municipal use and subsequently became the offices of Boston Corporation,[2][3][4] which was duly reformed in 1836 in accordance with the Municipal Corporations Act 1835.

[6] The new building was designed by James Rowell in the Edwardian Baroque style, built in red brick with terracotta dressings and was officially opened by the mayor, Alderman Joseph Cooke, in 1904.

[7][8] The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage of 10 bays facing onto West Street.

The first bay on the left featured a large opening with voussoirs and a keystone which originally led to the main foyer.
