Architecture; Civil engineering; Science. 1841.] THE CIVIL ENGINEER AND ARCHITECTS JOURNAL. .33 NEW TOWN HALL, ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE. Architects, Messrs. Young and Lee. With an Engraving, Plate II. A brief dfscription of this building appeared in the No. for hist July. It is in the Roman style of architecture, and consists in front of "an attached Corinthian colonnade in antis, surmounted by a balus- trade of the same order, which forms a parapet to the centre of the facade, and is crowned liy a group of sculpture. The wings consist of a single interpilaster, and terminate above with a plain parapet. The two flanks of the building are alike ; and consist simply of three win- dows in length, each similar to those in front, with antK at the corners only. The attic wall with its cornice is also continued round the flanks. The internal arrangements, it will be seen, demanded that the front wall sliould form an uninterrupted line, and be pierced with windows along its entire length; and it was therefore considered preferable to have attached columns—an arrangement adopted in tlie Erectheium at Athens. The order itself is divided into two stories, and is elevated upon a loflv stylobate. Its proportions are chiefly taken from the Pantheon at" Rome. A dentil cornice, instead of one with modillions, is used to save expense. The design although making no pretensions to originality, is in keep- ing with the style adopted, and does credit to the architects, Messrs. Y'oung and Lee of Manchester. This building, erecting from designs by one of the architects en- gaged, Mr. William Young, of Manchester, is now on the point of being roofed in. It stands on the north side of the new market-place, Ashton-under-lyne; a town which, compared with its size, may be said to be rich in public and private biuldings of importance. Many of these are of a very tasteful character, and certainly reflect great cre
