Grade B+ Listed 1901 Town Hall designed in 1897 of Fermanagh Carboniferous Limestone and Dungannon Sandstone on the previous site of a simple Market House. The Oak doors were carved by local wood carver William Scott in 1900 who was no relation to the buildings architect who was William Alphonsus Scott. During a spell of bad weather in January 2015, one of the statues of a soldier lost his arm and sword that fell to the street below. The statue was the gift of Francis William Bracken, a soldier who had returned to Enniskillen from South Africa when the town hall was being built. It was replaced as part of a £50,000 project to restore the exterior of the building. Inside, the lobby features a finely detailed floor mosaic that depicts the Enniskillen coat of arms. It survived a bomb blast in 1972, unlike the remainder of the floor, which had to be replaced. The mosaic was created by Italian artists who were hired especially for the project.
