Designed by David Hamilton, the original municipal buildings were completed in 1815. In 1994, when the architects were first approached to consider the rehabilitation of the complex, it had stood empty for 12 years and was in a seriously dilapidated condition. An initial analysis showed that the areas required for circulation and ancillary uses in a public building would take up too much space. It was decided, therefore, to replace the decaying rear south face with a new tract where these functions could be accommodated.
