Clackmannan Town Hall
description: Clackmannan Town Hall was built in four phases. The main hall was designed by the Alloa architect Adam Frame and built in 1888. The Art Nouveau-style, red sandstone facade on Main Street, designed by Ebenezer Simpson, was gifted by John Thomson Paton, Managing Director of John Paton, S.on & Co. Ltd, Kilncraigs Mill, Alloa, who also provided an endowment fund. Completed in 1903, it included a library and reading room, billiards and recreation rooms and was also funded with a grant from Andrew Carnegie. Mr Thomson Paton gave it in trust to the Parish Council of the Parish of Clackmannan. In 1927 the local Miners Welfare Fund paid for a western extension, providing a new billiards hall with retiring room. In 1993 a north-eastern extension was added by Clackmannan District Council, to provide a new library and Community Access Point and building was refurbished. The hall is now managed by Clackmannan Town Hall Trust.
