Biography - Govan Town Hall 
UK
Govan Town Hall, 401 Govan Road, 1897, Thomson & Sandilands.
Magnificent large Beaux-Arts composition. Govan's second Municipal Offices and Council Chamber, now local Public Halls and Glasgow Social Work Department. The main entrance, a central-arched frontage on Govan Road, is flanked by busts of former Councillors and a Provost. The Italianate Summertown Road entrance leads to the Concert Hall, decorated with cartouches of music and drama and a carved frieze by Archibald McFarlane Shannan, who sculpted Mrs Elder a little later
Taken from "Greater Glasgow: An Illustrated Architectural Guide", by Sam Small, 2008. Published by the Rutland Press http://www.rias.org.uk
Bordered on three other sides by Carmichael Road, Summertown Road, and 1-11 Merryland Street. So these are INCORRECT addresses if used.
Refurbished for £3.5 million between 2006 & 2009 and now is Film City Glasgow.
Confusion arises with another smaller, Govan Town Hall, properly South Govan Town Hall, at 287 Langlands Road.
