description
The Bennie Museum is on Mansefield Street in central Bathgate. The oldest part of the long row of cottages dates back to the 18th century. The youngest were built in the middle of the 19th century at the latest. The individual buildings were combined into one unit. The saddle roof of the one-story, eaves-standing building is covered with red roof tiles. Only a small strip above the eaves is covered with slate. In 1988, with the establishment of the museum, the building was restored.
