The building with the turret is Essex Town Hall (upstairs); it was shared with the Odd Fellows (downstairs); it was designed by John Alexander Maycock and completed in the Summer of 1898; the building to the right is the Essex Industrial Works, formerly known as the Essex Centre Manufacturing Company. It was erected in 1884. Harrington and Milne, Engine And Boiler Works, provided power to other tenants in the building. There was a foundry in the rear. The building contained the Essex Free Press Steam Printing House (north end); the Essex Free Press printing office appears to have been on the 1st floor - at the near end (first door).
