Old photograph of the Sir John Wilson Town Hall in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. In 1910 Sir John made a free gift of £10,000 to the community for the purpose of building a new town hall. In 1912 the Sir John Wilson Town Hall was formally opened. Sir John Wilson also gifted £1000 to be spent on laying out the Public Park to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. The park was laid out and a Band Stand erected, and was opened in 1897. In 1908 Sir John Wilson also laid out the West End Park.
