[2] The plan was to take advantage of increasing demand by piping the sulphurous water down from the spring to a tank, and then on to the new bath house in the centre of the town.

The central bay, which was also projected forward, contained two tall casement windows flanked by Doric order pilasters supporting an entablature, a frieze with triglyphs, and a pediment with a panel inscribed with the word "Baths" in the tympanum.

[6][7] The Moffat Town Hall Redevelopment Trust, a charity which was formed in 2008,[8] acquired a 21-year lease over the building from Dumfries and Galloway Council in November 2012.

The work, which was financed by Historic Scotland and Dumfries and Galloway Council, involved stripping away external paintwork, repairs to the masonry and repointing of the cement, and was completed in 2013.

[11][12][13] A plaque to commemorate the life of Lieutenant Samuel Wallace of the Royal Field Artillery, who was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions at Gonnelieu in France during the First World War, was dedicated at the town hall on 20 November 2017.
