Govan Town Hall, Category B listed town hall in Govan, Scotland
The red ashlar building features a central dome, Greek portico entrance, and thirteen bays along Govan Road with decorative architectural elements throughout the structure.
Constructed between 1897 and 1901 by Thomson & Sandilands at a cost of £60,000, the hall served as headquarters for Govan Burgh Council until Glasgow's annexation in 1912.
The building's facade displays the Govan burgh arms with a ship on stocks and two workers, expressing the motto 'Nihil sine labore' above the entrance.
Film City Glasgow now operates in the renovated structure, providing production facilities and a Dolby theatre for companies in the film industry.
The Summertown Road side of the building presents an elaborate frieze depicting children pulling a chariot with the words 'music' and 'drama' engraved above.
