Greenlaw's County Hall was designed by the architect Thomas Cunninghame and was built in 1829.

It is built of ashlar masonry in the Greek Revival style, with central domed hall and flanking pavilions.

The County Court also met in the Hall, and the dome contained a fireproof room in which legal documents were kept. Latterly, in the 1960s, this building had an unusual and short-lived use as a swimming pool.
