1900-03, J W Simpson and M Allen competition winning design. Grand neo-Baroque
design of very fine quality ashlar masonry. Symmetrical composition with pilastered
wings and 2 storey centre feature of large semi-circular arched port cochère
surmounted by Venetian aedicule balcony and open pediment with broken entablature
supported by coupled, enriched, Roman Ionic engaged columns. Above rises a stepped
attic supporting an elaborately detailed cupola with statues at the corners of the
base. The interior is treated in a grand Baroque manner as well. Imperial staircase
to the upper floor, glazed barrel vaulted columned landing and top light galleries.
The design of Cartwright Hall bears some comparison with the Brussels Palais de
Justice.
