Queen Victoria Memorial Hall, Beech Avenue, Coaltown Of Balgonie

The Queen Victoria Memorial Hall, dated 1905 and designed by James Gillespie and Scott, is a single-story hall with an attic, built in 1903-1905. It stands on a sloping site, with a further single-story wing extending to the south. The building is constructed of red brick with red sandstone dressings.

The main north elevation, facing the street, is symmetrical. The central bay projects slightly, featuring a raised, moulded commemorative panel below a tall, transomed tripartite window. The gablehead above has mock timber framing. Flanking bays contain tall, transomed windows.

The west elevation is also symmetrical, with six bays to the left and a lower gabled bay to the right. The central section has two bipartite windows flanked by taller transomed bipartites, breaking through the eaves in tall, gabled dormerheads. Advanced porches with moulded cornices and low flanking walls provide entrance points, each with a pair of panelled doors—the left-hand door is corniced. An open ridge ventilator with a lead skirt, bellcast roof, and decorative wrought iron finial incorporating a weathervane sits atop the building. The right-hand outer bay is set back, with a deeper base course, two small bipartite windows, an extended porch cornice, and a transomed tripartite window in the gablehead.

The south elevation is symmetrical, with five bays. The central bay is advanced, featuring a tall, four-part canted window below a cornice and blocking course. The bay to the right has two small, horizontal windows set above two basement openings. The bay to the left mirrors this arrangement, although the central window has been altered. The outer bays are lower and have flat roofs with boarded timber doors.

The east elevation mirrors the west elevation in its design, with the exception of the outer right bay, which has a window, and the outer left gabled bay, which is identical to the west elevation.

The upper parts of the transomed windows feature multi-pane leaded glazing. Elsewhere, the upper sashes of the windows are small-pane, set over plate glass lower sashes, except for the north elevation and the small windows on the south, which use plate glass throughout. The roof is covered in grey slates with terracotta ridge tiles. A brick stack with shouldered ashlar coping, clay cans, decorative bargeboarding, exposed eaves, cast iron downpipes, and decorative rainwater hoppers are also present.

A low brick boundary wall with moulded ashlar coping and decorative cast iron railings (installed in 1995) define the property's perimeter.
