Old Town Hall, Newton Abbot
The Old Town Hall is a former municipal building in Newton Abbot, a town in Devon, in England.
The building forms part of a terrace of five properties on Devon Square, originally built in the mid 19th century as houses. In the 20th century, number 9 was converted into a town hall, and an extension was added at its rear.[1] Newton Abbot Museum was also located in the building. In 2020, the council and museum both relocated to St Leonard's Church, which was converted to house them.[2]
The two-storey building is at one end of the terrace, and was originally a mirror image of 13 Devon Square, at the other end of the terrace. It projects forward from the centre of the terrace, and its front is three bays wide and has a gable. The first floor windows have semicircular arched heads. The entire terrace was grade II listed in 1975.[1]
