Pathhead Baptist Church And Hall, Anderson Street, Kirkcaldy

Pathhead Baptist Church and Hall, built in 1908 and incorporating a circa 1900 hall (previously used as a church), are located on Anderson Street, Kirkcaldy. The church is a gabled building in a plain gothic style with Free Style detailing, and includes a battered tower supported by a pyramidal cap. Adjacent is a rectangular-plan hall.

The church is constructed of squared and snecked bull-faced rubble with droved ashlar quoins and dressings. It features a chamfered ashlar base course on a rubble bed, and an eaves course. Openings are pointed-arch and trefoil-headed, with hoodmoulds, concave moulded reveals, and stone mullions. The west elevation has a two-stage, gabled bay with steps leading to a deeply moulded, gableted doorcase including a 2-leaf boarded timber door with decorative cast-iron hinges and a multi-pane, leaded fanlight. A traceried, 3-light window sits above the door. A small, trefoil-headed tripartite window is located to the ground right, while the tower is advanced to the left, and a flat-coped buttress to the outer right. The single-stage tower has small trefoil-headed tripartite and bipartite windows and square dies with pyramidal caps at each angle. The south elevation features five bays with pointed-arch windows and another small trefoil-headed tripartite window. A polygonal, louvered air vent with a delicate finial is situated on the centre of the roof ridge. The hall adjoins the church at an angle, featuring a timber door and plate glass fanlight within a pointed-arch opening, set within a crenellated porch in a re-entrant angle. The north elevation has five bays with dividing buttresses, and a small window on the tower to the outer right.

Multi-pane leaded glazing with coloured margins is used throughout. The roof is covered with grey slates and terracotta ridge-tiles, with coped ashlar skews with flat skewputts.

Internally, the church has fixed timber pews with umbrella racks, boarded timber dadoes, a panelled timber gallery front with a central clock, half-timbered gallery walls, and a hammerbeam roof incorporating large decorative air vents. A sounding board is centrally positioned above a panelled pulpit with a canted front featuring moulded tri-lobed blind arcading and panelling. A baptistry is located beneath the pulpit providing access from both the pulpit and the rear hall, featuring glazed tiles and marble steps. A vestibule includes multi-pane, coloured glazing to part-glazed doors, a moulded cornice, and a marble memorial to James Wishart Esq JP, Strathearn House. The Minister's and Ladies' rooms retain drip trays and boarded dado areas.

The hall, of gabled design, features a cross-finialled hoodmould over a stepped-tripartite window on its southwest elevation and two pointed-arch bipartite windows and a door in a linked porch on its northwest elevation. Inside the hall is a moulded cornice and collared-timber roof. A window on the west elevation has a hoodmould with label-stops, and there are cast-iron air vents with a "clenched fist" opening mechanism. A baptistry also exists within the hall.

Low saddleback-coped rubble boundary walls with inset railings enclose the property.
