Renfrew
Old Town Hall was first built in 1670,
the Town Hall was used as a jail until 1839 but it was
not secure and prisoners escaped. Attached was a small
hall and the Keeper's house. In 1826 a new wing was
added allowing the use of a Town Hall upstairs with
Council Chambers beneath. In 1871 plans were made for a
new building. On 13 April 1872 Renfrew was festooned
with flags and bunting and all work was stopped at
midday.
