[1] Following significant population growth, largely associated with the tin mining industry, a local board was established in Camborne in 1873.

[2] The local board, which usually met in the parish vestry room in Church Street,[3] was replaced by the Camborne Urban District Council in 1894.

[6] The new building was designed in the Renaissance Revival style, built in rubble masonry with ashlar dressings and was completed in 1903.

[7] The original design involved a broadly symmetrical main frontage of five bays facing onto Trevenson Street.

[12] An extensive programme of works to restore the exterior of the building was carried out with grant aid from the Camborne, Roskear and Tuckingmill Townscape Heritage Initiative in the early 21st century.
