[2] The current building was commissioned as a three-storey private house for a tanning family.

The building was designed in the neoclassical style, built in red brick with stone dressings and, although elements may be older, it was rebuilt in about 1800.

[3] The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of three bays facing onto the High Street.

The central bay, which was slightly projected forward, featured a porch formed by a pair of unfluted Ionic order columns supporting an open pediment, with sash windows with voussoirs and keystones on the first and second floors.

In 1894, it was succeeded by Pershore Rural District Council, which initially met in the boardroom at the local workhouse in Station Road.
