It is the second time in just a few weeks that crews have been called to a fire at the derelict site, after a small rubbish fire broke out on October 22.
Ronnie Cowan local MP tweeted last night: “Art Guilds in Greenock is in flames tonight . Another iconic building left to rot in #inverclyde.
"Hope nobody is injured and a big thanks to our Fire and Rescue service.”
