OneWay System Description: Greenfield House is a Category B Listed three-storey sandstone building designed by Edinburgh Architects, A G Sydney Mitchell and Watson and built between 1892 and 1894 for David Thomson, the Deputy Lieutenant of Clackmannanshire at the time. The original architects reconstructed and extended the house after a severe fire in 1914. David Paton Thomson died in 1917 and in his will instructed that his wife should live in the house until her death, after which it must be sold. In 1952 the house was bought by Alloa Burgh Council. Further development to the building received a commendation from the Civic Trust in 1987 when it was extended, with purpose built offices added, to accommodate the headquarters for Clackmannanshire Council. Many of the original fittings of the house, including splendid stained glass, plasterwork and wood panelling, have survived. As part of the Council’s office rationalisation and the relocation of the Council’s HQ and chambers to a redevelopment at Kilncraigs, Greenfield House has been declared surplus to requirements and approved for disposal.
