Town Hall, High Street, Langholm

The Town Hall in Langholm, built between 1811 and 1813, is a two-storey building designed, likely by architect William Elliot. It features classical details and has a central tower on its three-bay main elevation facing the Market Square. The exterior is constructed of stugged ashlar with polished dressings and rusticated quoins.

The tower rises in three diminishing stages above the main eaves level. It has a door set in cavetto reveals, with a later 19th-century cast-iron lamp bracket above. The tower includes round-arched openings with imposts and keyblocks, pilasters at the angles on the second stage, and a fourth stage that houses a clock and belfry topped with an upswept bell-cast stone roof and weathervane.

The main body of the town house has a rectangular plan, featuring square-headed openings with sash windows that have a four-pane glazing pattern. There is a band course between the floors, a cornice, and a blocking course, all beneath a piended slate roof. The building has two-bay flanks, with a library adjoining to the southeast. The interior has been altered.
