Town Hall, Brown Street, Blairgowrie

The Town Hall on Brown Street in Blairgowrie is an early 19th-century building that was reconstructed in 1939 by W J Brewster Grant and Henderson of Blairgowrie. A lesser hall was added at the rear by John Carver of Kinloch in 1860. This two-storey, seven-bay structure is classically detailed and forms part of an irregular terrace to the southeast. It features a combination of ashlar, snecked rubble, and harl, with base and band courses and an eaves cornice. The doorways are moulded.

On the northeast (principal) elevation, the central bays at the ground floor include a window and flanking consoled doorways with deep-set two-leaf panelled timber doors. The door on the right bears the inscription 'TOWN HALL RECONSTRUCTED MCMXXIX', while the left door reads 'BLAIRGOWRIE AND RATTRAY'. Additional windows are located in the broad outer bays. The first floor has regular fenestration, highlighted by Ionic-pilastered bays on either side of the centre, each featuring decorative ironwork balconies with cast cameo pictures, French windows behind, and a deep-corniced block pediment that breaks the eaves above.

The northwest elevation has a gabled bay on the left with a timber door and a two-leaf fanlight. The windows are timber sash and case with a 12-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar and harl stacks with cans, ashlar-coped skews with block skewputts, and cast-iron downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers.

Inside, the vestibule features ashlar doorpieces and a marble plaque that reads 'TO THE PEOPLE OF BLAIRGOWRIE, RATTRAY AND DISTRICT IN COMMEMORATION OF THE HOSPITALITY SHOWN TO THE POLISH TANK CORPS DURING, 1940-42'. The main hall is plain, equipped with a stage and a balcony.
