The structure, which was the meeting place of Saltash Borough Council, is a Grade II listed building.

[1] The first municipal building in Saltash was a small medieval guildhall with a bell turret on the north west corner of Alexandra Square.

[1] At the west end, on the ground floor, there was another round headed doorway with a canopy, on the first floor there were two round headed sash windows and, at roof level, there was a central panel containing the borough coat of arms surmounted by a small pediment with a carving in the tympanum.

[8] The doctor and suffragette, Mabel L. Ramsay, gave a speech to an audience in the guildhall in September 1910 explaining how infant mortality was significantly better in countries such as New Zealand where woman already had voting rights.

[9] A major programme of refurbishment works, which involved the renovation of the north wall and the roof, was completed in 1925.
