What is recorded here

This blue commemorative plaque records: The Town Hall opened in 1862 and was designed in the "Scottish Baronial" style by the painter and architect Charles Wilson (1810 - 1863) to replace the Toolbooth as the town council's meeting place. It was extended in 1876-77 to a design by Robert Dagleish (1839 - 1898) to accommodate the police office, jail and a new council chamber. Recorded plaque organisation: Rutherglen Heritage Trail.
