Title A name given to the resource Greenlaw Town Hall (HLF) Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived scottishborders Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 851 Type The nature or genre of the resource Museum Description An account of the resource John Cunningham built Greenlaw Town Hall or County Hall (as it is often referred to) in 1829: "A chaste yet elegant Grecian edifice...highly ornamental to the town, and whose position is less liable to satirical remark". This Greek Revival hall was converted to a swimming pool in the 1960s and then reverted back to a public hall in the 1980s. It has an impressive Ionic portico and raised dome, and two flanking pedimented pavilions. Its dome held the fireproof room ensuring the conservation of legal documents. The Town Hall was last used about 5 years ago and since then the Greenlaw Town Hall Trust, who own it, have been exploring options for its future use. An application to the Heritage Lottery Fund under the Greenlaw Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI) has resulted in a grant being provisionally awarded for the cost of repair and reuse. However, this offer of funding is dependent on a viable end use for the structure. It is hoped that there will be an exhibition on the proposaIs for the future of the Town Hall within the main building, Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1829
