Miners' Welfare Institute, 125-127 Main Street, Lochgelly

The Miners' Welfare Institute, located at 125-127 Main Street in Lochgelly, was designed by A D Haxton and built between 1923 and 1925. This two-storey, seven-bay building is an example of Free Baroque architecture and serves as both a miners' welfare institute and a war memorial. The exterior is rendered with polished sandstone dressings, featuring a base course, cill course, a bracketted cornice, a parapet, and keystoned architraved windows. Decorative carved festoon panels adorn the pilasters.

On the south elevation, the central entrance bay is flanked by full-height pilasters, featuring a keystoned round-arched doorway with a two-leaf panelled door and a radiating fanlight above. A bracketted stone balcony with an iron balustrade and a broken round-headed pediment is positioned above the first-floor window. An inscribed panel interrupts the eaves. There are single windows at ground level in three bays to the left and right of the entrance, with oculi above on the first floor.

The west elevation includes three windows at both ground and first floors on the outer right, a two-storey piend-roofed projection at the center, and an external stair on the outer left. The east elevation features two windows and a doorway at ground level, along with a single-storey wing with a roof ventilator adjoining to the outer right. There is a bracketted cill to a Venetian window on the first floor.

The north (rear) elevation has irregularly disposed fenestration. The building is fitted with small-pane sash and case windows and has a grey slate roof with an ogival cap on the central ventilator, as well as stone coping. The original rainwater goods, including hoppers, are dated 1925.

Inside, the institute features plain cornices, timber dado panelling, and decorative mounting for a clock set in a timber and glass screen wall. The property is enclosed by a low brick boundary wall with moulded stone coping along the street, although the gatepiers and ironwork are missing.
