Monklands District Council Housing Department, 25 Broomknoll Street, Airdrie

The Monklands District Council Housing Department, located at 25 Broomknoll Street in Airdrie, is a civic building designed by Alexander McGregor Mitchell in 1900. This two-storey, six-bay structure features a rectangular plan and showcases a mix of classical and Jacobethan architectural styles, highlighted by a prominent Dutch gable on the outer right bay that displays the Airdrie coat-of-arms. The building is constructed from squared and snecked red sandstone with ashlar margins, and includes a base course, continuous ground and first-floor cill courses, a projecting cornice, and a blocking course. The ground floor has blocked margins around arched openings, while the upper floor has plain margins.

On the west (principal) elevation, there is a panelled door located in the second bay from the left, topped by a semicircular arched fanlight. This door is flanked by pilasters that support a projecting pediment, with round-arched windows on either side. Above the door, there is a bipartite stone mullioned window. To the outer left, a canted corner turret features an octagonal roof. There is also a canted corbelled oriel window to the left of centre. Stone steps lead to broad, two-leaf modern entrance doors in the fifth bay, which are topped by a semicircular fanlight. This entrance is supported by Corinthian columns beneath a consoled segmentally-arched canopy, with scrollwork carving on the consoles and spandrels. The entrance is flanked by segmentally-arched tripartite windows with pilastered stone mullions. Above the entrance on the upper storey, there is another window flanked by stepped, stone mullioned tripartite windows. The oversized Dutch gable on the outer right bay prominently displays the carved Airdrie coat-of-arms.

The east (rear) elevation was not seen in 2001, while both the north and south side elevations are blind gable ends. The building features plate glass sash and case windows, grey slate roofing with lead flashing, broad coped and bracketed gable and ridge stacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods. The interior was not seen in 2001.
