Miner's Welfare Institute, Main Street, Kinglassie

The Miner's Welfare Institute on Main Street in Kinglassie is a single-storey pavilion built in 1931, with some minor later additions. It features a colonial style with seven bays, swept roofs, and a prominent pagoda-style ventilator at the ridge. The exterior is finished in painted harl with a brick base course, eaves course, and round-headed openings on the west and north sides, complemented by concrete mullions.

On the south elevation, which was originally symmetrical, there are steps leading up to a wide pedimented canopy supported by four piers, with a central two-leaf timber door. A swept lead roof covers a square ventilator topped with a decorative wrought-iron weathervane finial. Flanking the centre are blank bays beneath squat, slated, swept-roof bipartite timber dormers, with a window on the right and a door on the left. Slightly advanced flanking gables feature slated, swept-roof canted windows and mock timber beaming in the gableheads. To the far left, there is a slightly set-back small flat-roofed extension with a window.

The west elevation includes a variety of elements, notably an advanced bay on the left with two small windows and a keystoned, round-headed doorway. The north elevation displays asymmetrical round-headed windows in recessed centre bays, similar dormer windows as the south elevation, an advanced bay to the right, and modern extensions to the left. The east elevation is largely blank, with a small modern porch.

The timber dormer windows have a small-pane glazing pattern, while modern glazing is used elsewhere. The roof is covered with purple slates, and there are brick coped, harled stacks with cans. The south side features cast-iron downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers, while the bargeboarding is plain.

The interior was not seen in 1996. The property is enclosed by coped rubble boundary walls.
