Description

The Dormitory Block at Bangour Village Hospital, known as Villa 9, was designed by Hippolyte J. Blanc and constructed between 1898 and 1907, with a later single-storey, three-bay extension added to the south. This two-storey building features a restrained Scots Renaissance style, with a gabled structure measuring five by four bays. It is built from rendered snecked sandstone rubble, accented with contrasting ashlar margins and alternate quoins. The design includes a base course, a cornice, raised margins, and shouldered gables, along with pedimented and round-arched dormer heads. Some windows are bi-partite.

The south elevation is largely symmetrical, showcasing a five-bay section with advanced gabled ends. The later central extension is a three-bay flat-roofed structure that features a central canted window, with an additional flat-roofed extension to the east. There is a four-light canted window at ground level on the left side.

All window openings have been bricked up. The roof is covered with red tiles that include decorative ridge tiling, and the building has raised skews with plain skewputts and wallhead stacks. The interior was not seen as of 2011.
