The former playhouse and town hall is now an art gallery on the upper storey, with offices below. The north and south facades have a panel on each side carved in low relief with masks and emblems representing the Muses. The upper storey has all four principal faces treated in the same way, with a Venetian window embraced by Ionic engaged columns supporting a frieze and pediment. On each side are plastered niches carrying Etruscan type stone ornaments. Stone panels above these niches are decorated with swags and paterae (ornamental circular relief discs).
