Kirkcaldy’s Art Deco Heritage 6. Bennochy Avenue
Posted in Art Deco, Kirkcaldy at 14:02 on 31 July 2009
This is that rarity, a detached house in the Deco style, in Kirkcaldy.
Note the white rendering, flat roof(s) and cylindrical staircase. The windows seem to be original still.
Here’s the view from the right, where it looks a bit more boxy.
This side view shows a long narrow window. This looks to have been “poked out” with modern double glazing. The one on the opposite side wall is similar.
I don’t know if the front windows are subject to a preservation order, but they look like original Critall ones to me.

Hi being an exiled Langtonian I enjoy ur blog very much.I remember the Deco Houses from when I was a youngster in the 1950s, according to my dear old Mum (still going strong at 89 )and who herself comes from Napier Street and used to work in the 1930s in Loghborough Road, these windows are original.

I agree the front windows look fine. I think the long side window has been replaced, though.
