The new building was designed by David Smart of Perth in the Châteauesque style, built in ashlar stone with polished dressings at a cost of £4,000 and was completed in 1887.

Internally, the principal rooms were the main assembly hall, which featured a hammerbeam roof, and the council chamber, which was on the first floor.

[5] A plaque intended to commemorate the hospitality that soldiers of the 1st Medium Artillery Regiment, part of the Polish I Corps, received in the local area during the early years of the Second World War was attached to the main façade of the building and unveiled by the commanding officer of the regiment, Colonel Marian Korewo, on 13 September 1942.

[7][8] It subsequently became the meeting place of Coupar Angus, Ardler and Bendochy Community Council and also continued to serve as the home of the local public library.

[9] Following completion of a structural survey, Perth and Kinross Council was advised in 2019 that the building needed remedial works expected to cost £600,000 to be carried out.
