Dumbarton, Church Street, Burgh Hall, Category A listed town hall in Dumbarton, Scotland
The Burgh Hall on Church Street features a nine-bay symmetrical frontage with a four-stage tower constructed in ashlar stone according to Gothic Revival principles.
Built in 1865 by architects Robert Grieve Melvin and William Leiper, the building initially combined municipal functions with Dumbarton Academy until 1914.
Throughout its existence, the hall served as a central venue for performances, including a notable concert by contralto singer Kathleen Ferrier in 1945.
After a £15.7 million restoration project, the building now functions as the headquarters for West Dunbartonshire Council, providing modern office spaces.
The structure survived two major fires in 1882 and 1976, leading to a complete restoration that preserved its historical facade while creating new internal spaces.
