[2] The municipal offices, the northern section of the current complex, were designed by Arthur Rowland Barker in the Queen Anne style and completed in 1893.

[1] A stone name plaque bearing the coat of arms of the borough with the words "Southgate Town Hall" below was erected on the front elevation of the building.

[5] It was acquired by the developer, Hollybrook Homes, in November 2013[6][7] and conversion of the property for residential use as "Prytaneum Court" (Prytaneion is a Greek word meaning "seat of government") was completed in September 2015.

[8][9] As part of the transaction the developer agreed to undertake a programme of refurbishment works at a cost of £4.45 million at Palmers Green Library.

[10][11] The memorials commemorating council employees who had died in the First and the Second World Wars had been recovered from the town hall before it was converted and rededicated at Palmers Green Library in January 2019.
