The structure, which accommodates offices and meeting place of Pwllheli Town Council, is a Grade II listed building.

[1][3] The future Prime Minister, David Lloyd George, gave his first public speech to a group of local farmers in this building on market day in 1884.

[4][5][6] However, by the turn of the century the building was deemed too small and civic officials decided to commission a new structure nearby, on the north side of Penlan Street.

[7][8] In 1902, the council moved to the new building, which is now known as Neuadd Dwyfor, and sold the old town hall to the Pwllheli Liberal Club.

[12][13] The two-storey building is four bays wide, with its gable end facing Market Square.
