Kirkcaldy Town House
Kirkcaldy Town House is a Scandinavian influenced town hall located in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland. The current town house was begun in 1937, from a competition-winning design by architects David Carr and William Howard of Edinburgh. Only the foundations had been put in place before construction was interrupted by the Second World War. Work resumed on the building in 1950 and was completed in two separate phases between 1953 and 1956. The town house would serve as the headquarters of Kirkcaldy Town Council from 1956 to 1975 and then Kirkcaldy District Council from 1975 to 1996. Today, the role of the town house is the headquarters of the central region of Fife Council. Kirkcaldy Town House is protected as a category B listed building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wemyssfield, Town House: Listed Building Report )〕
== History ==
A decision was made to re-locate the town house in the mid-1930s. The former town house on the High Street was demolished in 1935.〔Kirkcaldy Civic Society ''Town Centre Walkabout'' p.15.〕〔Fife Council ''Kirkcaldy's History, Its Places and Its Famous Folk'' pp.13-15.〕 A site for the new town house was chosen to the north of the town centre, which involved the demolition of three main villas - Adelaide, St Oalfs and Tilehurst - to make space.〔Kirkcaldy Civic Society ''Town Centre Walkabout'' p.39.〕 Construction of the new town house began in 1939 from a competition-winning design by David Carr and William Howard of Edinburgh.〔Glen ''Kirkcaldy: An illustrated history'' p.261.〕 Only the foundations of the building had been put in place before work was interrupted by the Second World War. The nearby Osborne House on East Wemyss Place would serve as a temporary town office, for the time being.〔 Work on the town house resumed in 1950.〔 This was split into two phases: the officers' section and the councillors' section. The first phase (including the officers' section) was opened by James Young, then Secretary of State for Scotland on 6 July 1953.〔 The second and final phase (including the councillors' section and unveiling the statue of "The Sower" by Thomas Whalden) of the building was opened by the town provost, David Wright, on 6 July 1956.〔 The town council had their first meeting in the new building on 12 November 1956.〔 In 1975, the town house became the headquarters of Kirkcaldy District Council.〔Pearson ''Around Kirkcaldy'' p.15.〕 Nowadays, the role of the town house is the headquarters of the central region of Fife Council.
