Description
The Town Hall in Kinross, rebuilt by Andrew Cumming between 1868 and 1869, is a prominent single-storey building with a piend roof and classical detailing. It features a tall entrance bay that is advanced, pilastered, and has an open pediment. This bay is flanked by the former Post Office and Carnegie Public Library, which are internally linked. The building is constructed of stugged grey ashlar with ashlar dressings, and includes a base course and eaves cornice. The entrance has a lugged architraved and corniced doorpiece, hoodmoulds, chamfered reveals, stone transoms, and mullions.
The principal elevation has three bays, with the central bay projecting and incorporating steps leading up to the doorpiece. This doorpiece features a deep-set two-leaf timber door beneath an incised World War II memorial panel. Each return has a tall hoodmoulded light, while the flanking bays are recessed and contain large four-light transomed windows. The bay on the right has a narrow door in the outer re-entrant angle with a rectangular fanlight above. There is also a small advanced flat-roofed porch attached to the adjacent library on the left, with stone steps and a timber boarded door.
The windows have multi-pane and plate glass glazing patterns. The roof is covered with small grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks.
Inside, the Town Hall has a relatively plain interior featuring plain cornicing, boarded timber dadoes, and panelled reveals. The large hall space has a projecting stage and delicate classical decoration on the proscenium, along with a timber-balustered minstrels/viewing gallery incorporated into the entrance bay projection. Decorative cast iron and timber-balustered staircases and a part-glazed screen door complete the interior.
