Description
The Pavilion at Bignold Park in Kirkwall was designed by J Malcolm Baikie in 1910. This two-storey, five-bay sports pavilion features a symmetrical T-plan layout, highlighted by triple gables topped with spike finials and a decorative wrought-iron balcony on the first floor, supported by columns overlooking the park. A lean-to addition is present on the left side of the building. The exterior is rendered, with stone mullions and plain bargeboards that also have inverted spike finials on the side gables.
On the principal elevation, there is a timber panelled door with a two-pane fanlight located in the central bay at ground level, and a bipartite window above it in the gable. Each bay at ground level has a single window, while the outer right and left bays feature bipartite windows on both floors. There is a boarded door at ground level on the outer right and a part-glazed door with a window to the left in the lean-to addition on the outer left.
The side elevation to the south has a centered window in the lean-to set to the right at ground level, with a window to the left on the first floor and a gablehead stack above. The north side elevation includes a forestair leading to the balcony at ground level, a centered bipartite window on the first floor, and a gablehead stack above. There is a flat-roofed toilet block at the internal angle to the right, featuring a part-glazed door with a narrow light beside it, and a blank elevation above.
The pavilion has timber sash and case windows with small pane upper lights, and timber-framed windows in the lean-to on the south side. The roof is covered with grey fish-scale tiles, accented by a red clay ridge, and features coped, harled gablehead stacks on the north and south sides, along with a similar ridge stack at the rear. The rainwater goods are made of cast iron and include decorative hoppers. The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 1998.
