Dumbarton Municipal Buildings

The buildings were erected on College Park (the former grounds of College Park House). The land was bought from the railway company by Lord Overtoun, and gifted by him to the burgh. The buildings, by James Thomson, were officially opened in 1903. The College Bow – Link – now stands in the grounds, as do a Boer War Memorial – Link – and a statue of Peter Denny – Link
