Peter's Street in 1966, which became the regular meeting place for the council. Following a programme of conversion works costing £7.75 million carried out to a design by John McAslan and Partners, the St Albans Museum, which had been located in Hatfield Road until it closed in that location in September 2015, re-opened in the town hall in June 2018. Architecture The design involves a symmetrical main frontage with three bays facing onto the Market Square; the central bay features a podium on the ground floor containing three sash windows supporting a tetrastyle portico with Ionic order columns and a large entablature and pediment above. Internally, the principal rooms are the assembly hall, which also functions as a ballroom, and the courtroom, which has an octagonal shape and is panelled.
