Description
The Community Centre on Kinnear Street, Victoria Street, Buckhaven, was designed by Peter Sinclair in 1925. This two-storey, three-bay building features a rectangular plan and a piend roof, showcasing a sub-Wrenaissance style. The exterior is harled with contrasting red sandstone dressings, including a chamfered base course and cornice. The entrance has a channelled pilastered doorcase topped with a deep cornice and a keystoned semicircular pediment, along with stone mullions.
On the west elevation facing Victoria Street, the design is symmetrical. The ground floor features a central two-leaf door flanked by bipartite windows, while the first floor has a central bay with a corbelled gabled panel that displays a datestone. This gablehead includes an arrowslit and flanking stylised pilasters that break the eaves, topped by a finialled clock-cupola at the roof ridge, with bipartite windows in the side bays.
The north elevation facing Kinnear Street has asymmetrical fenestration with a mix of elements, including tripartite windows in gabled bays and a pedimented round-headed window in a corbelled panel. A modern entrance is located on the outer left.
The building features multi-pane glazing patterns in top-opening timber windows and is covered with bright red pantiles. The stacks are coped with harling, and the skews are ashlar-coped with moulded skewputts.
Inside, there are panelled dadoes, and the entrance hall has a glazed tile dado with panelled sections above, along with a panelled ceiling that features decorative plasterwork cornicing and round-arched openings supported by moulded brackets. The small hall has a coomb ceiling, with Ionic pilasters flanking the stage, which has a stepped cornice and decorative cast-iron ventilators. The former snooker room also has a coomb ceiling and plain cornice, along with decorative cast-iron ventilators. The gents' toilet includes ceramic tiles and a urinal.
