Listed Building
The building, 1898-1904 (with later 20th
century alterations) has been given a 'Category B Listing' by
Historic Scotland, who describe it as
"Plain Edwardian classical design with
Baroque pediment. Red brick with contrasting yellow brick and
ashlar sandstone dressings. Bays divided on all sides by giant
yellow brick pilasters with fluted ashlar capitals and slightly
projecting red brick pedestals with ashlar coping; red brick
entablature above with ashlar architrave and eaves cornice.
Yellow brick basket arches to ground floor windows; stone sills
throughout.
INTERIOR: wide flight of stone steps leads down to ground
floor from slightly higher entrance; narrower curved
stone staircase adjoins to N of present entrance (this was
formerly the route taken by workers at the gasworks between the
train that transported them here and the site itself - a
footbridge at 1st floor level providing the link to the latter)." |
