The view of the New Brighton Town Hall contrasts in size with the small shoemaker shop to its south. To the north is the Treat Building and a portion of the Marston Block. On the top of the hall was a flag pole which was on top of the large bell steeple on the left of the building. The bell was rung whenever there was a a fire. The fire engine was housed on the main floor of the building. The bell would also ring at nine o'clock when all the children had to be off the street.
