Description

The Town Hall, built in 1899 by Alexander Ness of Dundee, is a public hall situated on West Moulin Road, Pitlochry. It is constructed of squared rubble with sandstone ashlar dressings and is designed in a Scottish Renaissance style.

The building is two storeys high and features a prominent piend-roofed polygonal tower with an ogee roof, along with a smaller conical-roofed round tower. The north elevation is symmetrical, with a central panelled timber door and a three-part leaded fanlight above. A stone-balustraded balcony at the first floor is supported by oversized moulded brackets and incorporates a tall corniced four-light transomed window, which breaks the eaves and culminates in an elaborate cartouche. The west elevation includes an advanced gabled entrance bay, an engaged polygonal tower, and a squat round tower. The east elevation is notable for its taller bay to the right and the presence of a wallhead stack. The south elevation features a central doorway and a series of windows, including a tall one at the first floor.

Windows are predominantly timber sash and case, featuring a four-pane upper over a two-pane lower design in the north and south elevations and outer bays of the east and west elevations. The hall itself has multi-pane bottom-hopper timber windows. The roof is covered in grey slates, with a fishscale pattern on the ogee and conical towers. The building has coped ashlar stacks with polygonal cans, cast-iron 'mushroom' ridge ventilators, and decorative cast-iron rainwater hoppers and fixings on the main elevation.

The interior of the hall retains a boarded timber dado, a stage with modern timber detailing, a panelled balcony supported by two circular columns, and two-leaf panelled timber doors. The surrounding site includes coped rubble boundary walls.
