Municipal Buildings, Perth, Category B listed town hall in Perth, Scotland
The Municipal Buildings at 1-5 High Street feature Gothic Revival architecture with an asymmetrical frontage, six bays, and a slim tower at the southeast corner.
Construction began in 1878 when the Earl of Kinnoull laid the foundation stone, replacing the old city chambers from 1696 and the Chapel of Our Lady.
Five stained glass windows inside the building depict scenes from Sir Walter Scott's novel The Fair Maid of Perth and include a representation of Robert Bruce.
The building stands at coordinates 56.3971° N and 3.4263° W, with recent consultations exploring its conversion into a boutique hotel starting from March 2020.
A devastating fire in January 1895 caused substantial damage to the structure, but restoration work completed in 1896 preserved the original architectural elements.
