Renfrew Town Hall


Renfrew Town Hall is a municipal facility at The Cross, Renfrew, Renfrewshire, Scotland. It is a Category A listed building.

History

The original town hall on the site was built in 1670. The new building, which was designed by James Jamieson Lamb and Baillie James Barr Lamb in the French Gothic style, was completed in 1873. Following a serious fire, it was rebuilt in 1877.
The building was the seat of government of the royal burgh of Renfrew until it was replaced by Renfrew District under the wider Strathclyde Regional Council in May 1975. The district council was abolished in 1996, under the Local Government etc Act 1994, and the building ceased to be a seat of government. Instead the town is represented by a community council, which meets in town hall.
After a restoration programme to incorporate the new Renfrew Museum, the building reopened as a visitor attraction in January 2012.
