Description
The School House at 55 Maryhall Street in Kirkcaldy, likely designed by John Milne around 1880, is a two-storey, three-bay former schoolmaster's house. It features squared and snecked rubble with ashlar dressings, and has a moulded and stepped dividing course on the south, east, and west sides. The entrance elevation includes a narrow projecting gabled bay at the center with a window on each floor, a panelled timber door to the right, and a buttress to the left at ground level. Above the door, there is a panel with a 'Star of David'. To the left, a broader gabled bay has a slightly advanced canted quadripartite window at ground level, which is topped by a narrower bipartite window, both with battered coping and flanking buttresses. A recessed bay to the right of center features a bipartite window on each floor, with the first-floor window breaking the eaves into a dormer gablet.
The east elevation has a gabled bay on the left with a blind quatrefoil in the gablehead and a stack above it, while a lower gabled bay is recessed to the right. The west elevation shows a slightly advanced gabled bay on the left with a modern conservatory at ground level, a blank bay above with a stepped course, and a blind quatrefoil in the gablehead, featuring a dominant shouldered stack at the apex. The bay to the right of center is blank on the first floor.
The north elevation displays asymmetrical fenestration with two gabled bays, one on the left with a stack, and a projecting single-storey bay at the center. The windows throughout the building are timber sash and case with an 8-pane horizontal glazing pattern. The property also has coped, lozenge-shaped ashlar stacks with cans, and ashlar-coped skews with moulded skewputts. The boundary walls are constructed of coped rubble and brick.
