The structure, which is currently used as a community events venue and accommodates a public library, is a Category A listed building.

[4][5] It was designed by Charles and Leslie Ower in the Gothic Revival style, built in sandstone and was officially opened by Inglis on 22 July 1898.

The outer bays were fenestrated with mullioned and transomed windows on both floors with crenelated parapets, bartizans and stepped gables above.

[8] Stained glass windows were installed by William Meikle & Sons of Glasgow in the main halls.

[1] Additionally, Inglis donated a collection of 5,000 specially bound books to fill the library.
