County Office, Mar Street, Alloa

Ochil House was built 1806 as a 2-storey (3-storey at rear), 3-bay, rectangular plan, plain, classical style former inn. In 1844 it became the county offices and court house and 1882 the offices for the adjacent drill hall (now demolished). The building was altered by Colin Machin in 1993. The principal (north) elevation is droved ashlar with a base course, cill course, moulded eaves course and blocking course. The side elevations are squared and snecked rubble and rough rubble to the rear elevation.

The principal elevation has an advanced central entrance bay with a pediment containing a sculptured plough and with a coped chimney stack at the apex. Steps lead up to the entrance which is deeply recessed in a cavetto splayed doorway.

The windows have a 12-pane glazing pattern in timber sash and case frames. The roof is pitched with grey slates and there are wide corniced end stacks with short yellow clay cans.

To the west is a boundary wall with a droved ashlar semi-elliptical arch, possibly dating from the 1840s, surmounted by a stone inscribed '1st C & KRV Drill Hall 1882' and an early 19th century rubble boundary wall beyond.

The interior, seen in July 2015, is largely 20th century in detail with interior walls rearranged although the early 19th century U-plan stair at the rear of the building remains in place.
