Carlow Memorial Hall, Durie Street, Leven

Carlow Memorial Hall, built in 1925 by A D Haxton, is a single-storey, four-bay gothic church hall located on Durie Street in Leven. The building has a rectangular plan and features a gabled porch. It is constructed from stugged squared and snecked rubble with ashlar dressings, and includes a raised base course and eaves course. The hall has pointed-arch openings, with tracery and hoodmoulds that have label stops. It is supported by three-stage battered saw-tooth coped buttresses, and includes voussoirs, raked cills, chamfered reveals, and stone mullions.

The northwest elevation, which is the principal elevation, features a low full-width porch. The central bay has a gabled and buttressed doorcase that is deeply moulded, with nookshafts and mask-stops. It contains a two-leaf panelled timber door topped by a five-light decoratively-astragalled small-pane fanlight. There are square-headed narrow flanking lights and tri-lobed hoodmoulded windows in the outer bays. Above, there is a large hoodmoulded window with curvilinear tracery set in the higher, set-back gable of the hall.

On the northeast elevation, there is a traceried two-light window with dividing buttresses in each of the four bays. The southwest elevation shows the lower gable of the porch, which has an arrow slit on the outer left, and traceried two-light windows with dividing buttresses in the centre and left bays. A modern lean-to extension is present on the right side.

The southeast elevation is harled with a gabled design and features a projecting piended roof of an 'apse' below a small pedimented former belfry that projects from the gablehead. The hall includes multi-pane leaded glazing with decoratively-astragalled margins and tracery, grey slates on the roof, and ashlar-coped skews with gablet skewputts. Cast-iron downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers complete the exterior.

Inside, the hall boasts a good decorative scheme that includes panelled and boarded dadoes, moulded cornices, and part-glazed panelled timber doors. The interior also features a hammerbeam roof and a pointed 'apsidal' arch leading to the southeast dais.
