Greenock municipal buildings, Category A listed government building in Greenock, Scotland.
The Municipal Buildings feature Mediterranean and Scottish Renaissance elements with granite pillars, sculptures, and the 75-meter Victoria Tower topped by a dome.
The town hall construction began in 1881 and concluded in 1886, designed by architects H & D Barclay to serve as Greenock's administrative center.
The building demonstrates Victorian architectural grandeur through its detailed stonework, incorporating classical elements that represent Scottish civic administration traditions.
The Municipal Buildings stand at the junction of A8 and A78 roads in central Greenock, housing local government offices and administrative services.
Cowan's Corner marks where a shopkeeper refused to sell his property, forcing architects to build around it until World War II bombing destroyed the shop.
