Town Hall, High Street, Maybole

The Town Hall in Maybole is a 17th century rectangular-plan house featuring a three-stage tower. It underwent significant additions in 1887 when it was converted into a Town Hall. The tower, which is the only part of the original 17th century structure that remains largely unchanged, was originally three storeys but is now two, topped with a crow-stepped gable facing south.

The first stage of the tower is tall and has two unusual semi-circular headed doors at ground level, with irregularly spaced windows above and a blind panel in a moulded frame on the northeast face. The second stage is corbelled and features a boldly moulded frame around a blind panel. The top stage has cusped, Y-traceried, louvered belfry openings on each side and a corbelled castellated parapet, which was restored in 1812, as noted on the masonry. The tower is capped with a pyramidal roof that has cast-iron brattishing.

The 1887 extension to the Town Hall, designed in the Scottish Baronial style, is two storeys high and has three unequal bays facing High Street. The central bay features a door under a moulded round-arched head. There is a heavily consoled, bracketed balcony above the door, which is part of a tripartite window with mullions and transoms on the first floor. The wall head is raised above to a crow-stepped gable, flanked by miniature corbelled turrets. The outer bays also have a corbelled castellated parapet. Additionally, there is a circular angle turret at the northeast corner topped with a conical slate roof, which is corbelled above the ground floor. A second entrance is located at the head of steps on the northeast elevation.
