===Premises=== Since 2014, the council has been based at Kilncraigs, on Greenside Street in Alloa. After the 1975 local government reorganisation, the old headquarters of Clackmannanshire County Council at the County Buildings reverted to being solely a courthouse, and the old county council's overflow offices in converted houses along nearby Marshill passed to the Central Regional Council. The Clackmannan District Council acquired a modern office building called The Whins on Whins Road to serve as its headquarters, and also took over the former Alloa Town Council building at Greenfield House on Mar Place.<ref>1984 Telephone Directory</ref> Greenfield House had been built as a house in 1894 and had been bought by the old town council in 1952, with its gardens becoming a public park. In 1987 Greenfield House was extended, allowing it to become the district council's headquarters, with The Whins subsequently being turned into the Alloa Business Centre. Greenfield House then served as the council's headquarters until 2014.<ref>{{cite news |title=Go-ahead for move to new HQ |url=https://search.findmypast.co.uk/search/british-newspapers |access-date=20 April 2023 |work=Stirling Observer |date=6 June 1986 |page=1}}</ref><ref>{{Historic Environment Scotland|num=LB21010|desc=Greenfield House (now District Council offices)|cat=B|access-date=20 April 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Forsyth |first1=Valerie |title=A walk in the past: The 1914 inferno at Greenfield House |url=https://www.alloaadvertiser.com/news/17411957.walk-past-1914-inferno-greenfield-house/ |access-date=20 April 2023 |work=Alloa Advertiser |date=6 February 2019}}</ref> In 2014 the council moved to Kilncraigs, which had been built in 1904 as the offices, factory and warehouse of [[Patons and Baldwins|John Paton, Son and Co]], manufacturers of knitting yarn.
