Description
Burgh Court Hall, located at 128 Main Street, was designed by McWhannell and Rogerson in 1904. This building is a free Scots Renaissance style burgh structure featuring a prominent tower, a crowstepped gable, and figurative sculpture. It is constructed from coursed bull-faced red sandstone with polished ashlar dressings.
The northwest elevation, which faces Main Street, showcases a tall, engaged circular clock tower on the right that rises above the roofline. At the base of the tower is a fluted pilastered entrance, topped by an entablatured niche that features a personification of Justice, possibly 'Justitia'. Above this is a balconette that contains a maquet of a town crier, framed by pilasters and strapwork. The tower also has a corbelled semi-circular balconette with a gablet that breaks the eaves, flanked by clock faces. There is a further balconette at the rear and a conical roof. The ground floor has four windows, with a canted oriel window on the left that has headstopped roll-moulded surrounds. Above the oriel is a sculpted figure of Justice, and an eagle is positioned to the right side of the tower.
The building features timber sash and case plate glass windows, some with leaded upper sashes. The roof is covered with grey slates and terracotta ridge tiles, while the conical roof is finished with red tiles. Decorative cast-iron rainwater goods with hoppers complete the exterior.
The interior was not seen in 2004.
