George A. Clark Town Hall, Municipal building in Paisley, Scotland.
The town hall on Gauze Street features a grand hexastyle portico with Corinthian columns and two towers, with one containing a clock by Gillett and Bland.
The building opened on January 30, 1882, following a bequest from George Aitken Clark, with the foundation stone laid by his mother on October 22, 1879.
The main hall contains a substantial organ manufactured by Bryceson Bros and Ellis, enabling musical performances and community gatherings throughout its existence.
The structure underwent transformation plans in 2019, with an investment of £22 million to convert the Category A listed building into a performing arts center.
The chiming mechanism of the town hall bells, which remained silent for years, returned to operation in 1988, restoring this distinct sound to Paisley.
