Description
Kemback Manse is a two-story building dating to 1801, with a near-contemporary addition. It is a rectangular structure, originally three bays wide. It has a straight-skewed slated roof and rectangular corniced end stacks. The south front features V-jointed rusticated ashlar quoins and coursed squared and droved rubble. A central door at ground level is topped by a fanlight, although a modern porch now obscures it. To the east is a single-story addition with a canted bay facing south, featuring three windows and a rectangular coursed stack to the side.
The manse served as a former parish manse, and the east addition was purportedly built to house a Sunday School. It forms a group with buildings numbered 28, 29 and 30 on the listing.
