Angus Classic Interiors, (former Drill Hall), 13 Bank Street, Brechin

This former drill hall was built in 1879-80 with extensions in 1892. Thomas Martin Cappon (with Patrick Hill Thoms) designed the offices at the front of the building in 1896-1897. It is a 2-storey, 3-bay, approximately rectangular plan Free Jacobean style former drill hall and offices, which is now commercial premises (2015). The materials used are squared and snecked pink rubble with polished ashlar dressings. The central gabled bay of the principal elevation rises to three storeys and has a wide round arched entrance with a recessed door, surmounted by a sculpted lion and unicorn holding the Black Watch crest, with cartouches/scrolls inscribed '2nd VBRH'' and 'Black Watch'. The stepped gable has a broken pediment with ball finialled stalk and a large oculus (round window) with a decorative surround. There is mainly 6-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows with stone mullions, with the central windows also having transoms. There are grey slates on the roof and corniced chimney stacks with some yellow clay cans.

The interior has not been seen. Photographs taken in November 2015 show some surviving late 19th century elements. The interior of the hall, now subdivided, is timber lined with a shallow arched roof on cast iron supports. Some simple late 19th century plasterwork, timber panelled doors and a timber stair survive in the office section.
