Town Clerk's Office, 8 Bank Street, Airdrie

The Town Clerk's Office at 8 Bank Street in Airdrie was designed by Alexander Baird in 1826. This two-storey, three-bay, rectangular classical town-house features a symmetrical design and an entrance tower. The principal elevation is constructed from yellow sandstone ashlar, with a channelled ground floor and harled sides and rear. It has a base course, a slightly raised eaves course, a plain projecting cornice, and a blocking course.

On the west (principal) elevation, there is regular fenestration with cavetto moulded architraves around the windows, projecting sills, and lintels on the first floor. Full-height pilasters frame the outer bays, and there are coped blocks that break the eaves. The entrance tower, which is slightly advanced, is a six-stage square-plan structure with projecting cornices between the stages. The central doorway is framed by paired engaged Tuscan columns on raised plinths that support a projecting entablature, with a single window above the entrance on the second stage. The third stage features a triple stepped design, while the fourth stage has engaged Tuscan columns at the corners and pedimented windows in the centre. The fifth stage has two steps leading up, with pilasters at the chamfered corners and clock faces within square surrounds. The sixth stage belfry has semicircular arched openings flanked by columns that support entablatures, topped with a copper octagonal spire.

The east (rear) elevation features a 1948 addition that is two-storey and five-bay with a rectangular plan. This addition is harled and has regular fenestration with projecting margins. The north (side) elevation mirrors the south (side) elevation, both featuring five bays and regular fenestration with projecting margins around the windows.

The building has 12-pane sash and case windows, a hipped roof covered with grey slates and lead flashing, and coped wallhead stacks. The interior has been modernized for office use.
