Description
Newcraighall Miners' Welfare Society is a miners' welfare institute located on Whitehill Road in Edinburgh, designed by Alexander Allan in 1925. This two-storey building features an eight-bay, symmetrical T plan with classical details. It is constructed of cream rubble sandstone, accented with polished red sandstone dressings.
The northeast entrance elevation showcases two depressed arches at the ground level within an advanced and gabled central bay. Above these arches are bipartite windows topped with round-headed pediments. A louvred oculus is set in the gablehead, which is adorned with ball finials on the skewputts and gablehead. Paired single windows are present on both floors in the flanking bays, while bipartite windows are found in both floors of the remaining bays.
On the southeast elevation, there are two bays. A doorway is located at ground level in the outer left bay, with bipartite windows above and in the outer right bay.
The northwest elevation consists of three bays, featuring a canopy over an opening at ground level in the outer right bay. There is a single window in the central bay, and bipartite windows in the remaining bays.
The southwest rear elevation includes a large piend-roofed wing that is advanced to the centre, along with a later single-storey wing at the centre. There are flat-roofed additions on the left and right sides. The building has a grey slate piended roof and shouldered wallhead stacks, although it features replacement glazing.
