history
When the textile industrialist George Robinson , who ran a linen weaving mill in Banff as a partner of Alexander Hays , bought the property in 1772, there was already a building there. It probably originated in the middle of the 18th century. Robinson had the building expanded and redesigned. George Robinson and his son served almost continuously as provosts of Banff between 1790 and 1831 . The engraving of the English rose and the Scottish thistle on an open fireplace on the first floor symbolize the connection between George Robinson, originally from England, and his wife Bathia Garden , who is of Scottish descent . Today the building houses the Banff Town and County Club.

With the exception of this component, the facades are plastered with Harl . The street-side facade is largely unadorned. The central gable is designed with a chimney attached to the gable .
