This was not originally a Memorial Hall. It lies just off Kinross’s High Street. It was under refurbishment when I photographed it.
Cartouche, inscribed, “Erected AD 1841 and presented to Kinross Burgh AD 1947 by Kinross Market Company in memory of the men and women of Kinross who fell and in grateful recognition of all who served in the Second World War 1939 – 1945.”

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.
Central Café, Kinross:-
