| Notes: | Pioneering box-frame construction. Engineer Fairhurst & Partners. Ist development only as mining ion central Fife collapsed. The later roof spoiled the design. Unclear if this is a different building from Bishop's Court. If it is the same then Gifford wrongly attributes the building to Maurice Taylor. In Haxton's statement on Frank's Fellowship Nomination Paper, he mentions the mid-section of the Kennoway Shopping as containing 16 shopping and library units and 16 maisonettes. He remarks on its unusual construction which is well-expressed on the elevation as well as the attention to detail and decoration in the library interior which was given a 'colourful contemporary treatment' |
