A decision was made to erect a public hall in 1919 and the site was cleared prior to a competition being held for its design. It was estimated to cost 3000 pound, however the final cost was in the vicinity of 4500 pound. It was officially opened on 7 May 1921 by E W Hamer, the first Freeman of the City of Stirling.
