Loreburn Hall, (former Drill Hall), including lions, 43 Newall Terrace, Dumfries

Loreburn Hall, originally a Drill Hall and now a community hall (as of 2015), was designed in 1890 by Alan Burgess Crombie, with later additions and alterations made in 1909 by Wilfrid Fitzalan Crombie and again in 1967. The building is a two-storey, three-bay structure built in the Scots Baronial style, with a roughly T-shaped layout. The front section, intended as offices, is constructed of squared and snecked bullfaced red sandstone with polished ashlar dressings, while the drill hall itself is of dry-dashed rendered brick. The front elevation is symmetrical, featuring a string course at first floor level and an eaves course. The central bay includes a round arched doorway, an oriel window above, and a short, stumpy slated spire topped with an open iron crown. The slightly projecting outer bays have crowstepped gables and square pyramid-roofed bartizans at the corners. A decorative cast iron framed shelter with a glazed roof is located to the right, and a wide arched double-leafed timber door, set back from the building line, provides direct access to the hall to the left. Sculpted by John William Dods of Dumfries, lions flank the main doorway.

The front section of the building has timber sash and case windows with mainly four-pane upper sashes and single-pane lower sashes. Grey slate roofs and chimney stacks with yellow clay cans are present on the front part, while the drill hall has a non-traditional roofing material.

The interior, inspected in 2015, retains a good late 19th century decorative scheme. The office section features simple cornices, timber panelled doors, and a main staircase with decorative wrought iron balusters. A room above the main entrance is timber-panelled to dado height. The hall itself has a shallow pitched roof supported by delicate wrought iron lattice trusses, curved at the wallhead, with timber lining and roof lights running along its length. A recessed raised area at the north end is flanked by pilasters and a decorative plaster frieze above, with decorative mouldings enclosing panels above the side doors.
