This Grade II listed building is now used as commercial offices. It is in the Albert Park conservation area. Manchester City Council's description of the conservation area http://www.manchester.gov.uk/site/scripts/documents_info.php?categoryID=511&documentID=1210&pageNumber=3 tells us: "Withington Town Hall, originally the local Board of Health offices, was built in buff brick with richly decorated dressings of red brick and terracotta. These form elliptical arches over the first floor windows. The parapet is decorated with finials and has a central gable, behind which is a clock turret surmounted by a weathervane."
