Description

The Town Hall in Leslie, dated 1872, is a three-bay rectangular building featuring simple Gothic details. It has extensions over the main door and at the rear, and it is part of an irregular terrace adjoining No. 13 to the east. The building is constructed from Aberdeen bond whinstone on the south and west sides, and squared and snecked whinstone on the north and east. It showcases contrasting long and short sandstone quoins, a base course, and a moulded string course or hood-mould. The main door is adorned with masque label stops, and there are quatrefoil windows and date plaques in the south gable, which reads "18 - 72."

On the south elevation facing High Street, the gable end features an arched door at the center, flanked by full-height arched windows. There are two additional irregular square-headed doors to the east. Above, a rendered extension has a pitched roof and a central square window, with a quatrefoil window in circular moulding above it, topped with a ball finial at the apex.

The west elevation, situated on steeply falling ground, has four windows, with a smaller window on the outer right and a blank wall on the outer left. An external stair leads to a rendered square porch extension below the northern window.

The north elevation includes a rendered flat-roof extension that spans the full width of the building and is approximately at gallery height, featuring a circular opening in the gable.

On the east elevation, there are two window bays with a red brick stack positioned between them. The original building has a small-pane glazing pattern, with intersecting tracery at the apex of the main front arched windows. The roof is covered with grey slates, featuring stepped ashlar skews, square skewputts, and coped ashlar stacks. The moulded eaves guttering is supported by decorated brackets, and there is a rainwater hopper.
