House Adjoining Masonic Hall, Main Street, Killin

This building comprises a circa 1845 house, now divided into two flats (White House and Breadalbane Cottage), and an adjoining single-storey wing that was converted into a Masonic Lodge in the early 20th century. The building is faced in white harl and stands at a crossroads in the village. It retains considerable architectural character, being unusual in that its main three-bay frontage does not face the street, with the gable end instead given prominence. Gabled dormers are characteristic of the local architectural tradition. Local accounts suggest a possible historical connection to an earlier sawmill located nearby. The Earl of Breadalbane gifted the Lodge to the Masons.

The east-facing street elevation is divided; to the left is the Masonic Lodge, with a three-bay frontage, featuring a larger window in the central bay. Above this window is a gable breaking the eaves, bearing an inscribed stone reading 'LODGE BREADALBANE ST FILLANS No 815 A.D 1907'. The lodge entrance is located to the rear, within a monopitch section. To the right is the divided house, consisting of two bays, with a gabled bay at the far right and another bay sporting a gabled dormer breaking the eaves. The north elevation of the house is also three bays, with corresponding gabled dormers breaking the eaves and a central entrance. The entrance to the upper flat is located to the rear. Gable stacks are present at the junction of the house and lodge, and at the rear elevation.

The Lodge’s interior, timber-lined, was recently refurbished in 2004 following the discovery of dry rot. The Lodge predominantly features timber sash and case windows with four-pane and two-over-four-pane glazing. The house has non-traditional replacement windows.

The building is part of a group of buildings of group value, alongside Birchbank, Glengarry, Ashlea and Upper Ashlea.
