The town hall has a symmetrical stuccoed façade with a central staircase leading up to a porch flanked by columns.

[1] In 1964 the architect, John Poulson, put forward a plan, which was never realised, to demolish the town hall and various other properties to create a shopping centre.

[6] In 2012 a blue plaque was erected outside the town hall to recognise the sacrifice of F. J. Hooper, a local man who went to the South Pole in search of the bodies of Robert Falcon Scott and his team after their ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition in 1912.

[7][8] Southport Town Hall has a stuccoed façade painted white, and a slate roof in Palladian style.

This leads to a porch flanked by a pair of pilasters and a fluted Doric column on each side.

Above the central bay is a pediment with a tympanum containing carved personifications of Justice, Mercy and Truth, and this is flanked by balustraded parapets.
