Former East School, St Aidan's Church Hall, Brook Street

The former East School, now St Aidan's Church Hall, was built in 1874 by Maclaren and Aitken. This well-preserved, single-storey building has a T-shaped plan and features classical detailing. It is located prominently at the crossroads of Brook Street and St Vincent Street, adjacent to the former St Aidan's Church, now known as Broughty Ferry New Kirk.

The exterior showcases a rectangular-plan doorpiece with semicircular-arched keystoned doors, a blind frieze, a cornice, and a pierced balustrade. The broad gables have segmental window heads and louvered occuli framed by elongated consoles. The building also features finialled and pedimented dormer heads that break the eaves, along with segmental and square-headed windows. The walls are made of roughly squared snecked rubble, accented with contrasting blond sandstone stugged dressings around the openings and droved quoin strips. It has broad base and cill courses, stone transoms and mullions, raked cills, and stop-chamfered arrises.

The symmetrical principal elevation faces west and includes a projecting central gable with a 4-light transomed window that rises into a segmental pediment, an oculus, and a Dutch-style gable head, flanked by single windows. The side returns feature bipartite and single windows below triangular-pedimented dormer heads. The left side has set-back bays with a single window at the broad outer left gable, while the central bays include a balustraded doorpiece flanked by a small horizontal tripartite window on the left and a bipartite window on the right, along with a broad doorway in the re-entrant angle. The right side mirrors this arrangement, with an additional small segmental dormer window above the tripartite window and a 2-leaf panelled timber door.

The building largely retains an 8-pane glazing pattern in timber sash and case windows, some of which are boarded externally. The roof is covered with graded grey slates and features a stepped roofline. The gable head stacks are cavetto coped and shouldered, with ashlar-coped skews and moulded skewputts.

Inside, there are some retained panelled doors, boarded timber dadoes, and moulded cornicing. The large central room has a hammerbeam-type roof, while the flanking rooms are supported by narrow cast iron columns.
