Scope and Content Port Glasgow Town Buildings, Inverclyde Port Glasgow Town Buildings replaced an earlier town hall found to be inadequate in 1803. An Act of Parliament was passed to allow a new one to be built but work did not begin until 1813. Funding came from public subscription and the sale of bonds. The steeple is similar to one built by the architect at Falkirk. The weather-vane is a model of a three-masted ship. The bell was cast by James Duff and Sons of Greenock in 1879. Lightning damage was repaired in 1862. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
