In 1892, the noted Glasgow architect, James Miller was commissioned to design
the new
Clydebank Town Hall. Amongst his other works were the Caledonian Hotel Glasgow,
Peebles Hydro, Turnberry Hotel, Glasgow’s Botanic Gardens and St Enoch Subway
and the great 1901 Glasgow International Exhibition in Kelvingrove Park.
It officially opened on 4th April, 1902.
The Town Hall escaped relatively lightly during the Clydebank Blitz in 1941
and played a prominent part in the Clydebank Blitz,
acting as a haven
for the displaced citizens of the town
and the rescue co-ordination centre.
