This building was opened in November 1955 as the British Legion (Scotland), Larbert District Branch, Memorial Hall and Branch Headquarters. Adam Gossart, Chairman of the branch at the time, presided over the opening ceremony, and his name is still remembered in Stenhousemuir with the construction of Adam Gossart Court, a care facility currently managed by Cairn Housing Association. The British Legion hall is situated on the corner of James Street, Stenhousemuir and Park Drive, opposite Crownest Park. It consisted of, on the ground floor, two rooms, kitchen and toilets, while the upper floor was the main hall capable of holding 200 people. At the time it cost £3.800 to build. It is currently being used by the 89th Stenhousemuir Scout Group. (Source: Falkirk Herald 12/11/1955)
