Description

Bruce Street Hall, located at 37-39 Bruce Street, is a former drill hall administration block designed by Fife architect Andrew Scobie in 1887-88. This 2-storey, 3-bay building features a rectangular plan and is designed in an 'Institutional Gothic' style. The late 20th century hall at the rear is not included in the listing.

The structure is made of squared and snecked sandstone ashlar with polished ashlar dressings and raised stone cills. It has shallow, pointed-arch hoodmoulds above the segmental-arched window openings. The central bay of the main (east) elevation is gabled, featuring a tripartite and roundel window set within a pointed arch above the entrance porch recess. There are shouldered, wallhead chimney stacks with octagonal clay cans on the north and south elevations, along with a round-arched window in the south elevation. The building's windows are timber sash and case with 2 and 4-pane glazing, and the roof is covered with graded grey slate.

The interior was partially observed in 2015. The entrance hall has been modified for use as a public gymnasium reception area. The internal staircase includes decorative cast iron banisters and a hardwood handrail with a scrolled newel post.
