Govan Town Hall, 401 Govan Road, 1897, Thomson & Sandilands
Magnificent large Beaux-Arts composition. Govan's second Municipal Offices and Council Chamber, now local Public Halls and Glasgow Social Work Department. The main entrance, a central-arched frontage on Govan Road, is flanked by busts of former Councillors and a Provost. The Italianate Summertown Road entrance leads to the Concert Hall, decorated with cartouches of music and drama and a carved frieze by Archibald McFarlane Shannan, who sculpted Mrs Elder a little later
