Burgh Court Hall and Burgh Chambers, Main Street, Barrhead
The two buildings are individually listed as Category C, but are a Category B group together. They were built as a pair in 1902, when Barrhead was a police burgh. The Burgh Court Hall (on the left) was the Barrhead Municipal Chambers and Burgh Court, the offices of the town council. Later it became Barrhead Arts and Heritage Centre and housed the Barrhead Community Museum from 1994-2000 when it closed to the public. It still has 'Museum' signs outside. It is currently occupied by Enable Scotland and the building is still known as the Barrhead Arts and Heritage Centre.
