Saltcoats, Countess Street, Town House, Category B listed townhouse in Saltcoats, Scotland.
The Town House presents a symmetrical main frontage with three bays and a central five-stage tower topped by an octagonal lantern and spire.
Constructed in 1826 with public subscription funds, the building was designed by architect Peter King following the Scottish baronial architectural principles.
The structure served as a municipal center with a courtroom on the first floor and housed future artist John Lavery during his childhood in the 1870s.
The building underwent a £3.7 million renovation project in 2015, resulting in modern facilities while maintaining its historical architectural features.
Between 1920 and 1972, the town hall section of the building operated as a cinema before closing due to reduced demand for cinema seats.
