Kinross Memorial Hall

This was not originally a Memorial Hall. It lies just off Kinross’s High Street. It was under refurbishment when I photographed it.

Scotland’s Art Deco Heritage 45: Kinross

Not a major piece of deco. It’s mainly the lettering and the marble cladding on the shop front surround. The upper part of the building of course has no deco about it at all.
