Greenlaw County Hall was built in 1829-31 to house the offices associated with the local government of Berwickshire, Greenlaw being, at that time, the county town of Berwickshire. The dome was designed as the fire-proof room for the safe storage of documents. The building became largely redundant when the management of Berwickshire was transferred to Duns in 1903. It was converted into a Community Centre in 1960, a swimming pool in 1973 and abandoned in the 1980s. It is now on the Scottish Buildings at Risk Register.
