Hall's Farm
The Halls Farm is a farm near the Scottish hamlet of ridicule in the Council Area East Lothian . In 1989 the structure was included in the Scottish monument lists in the highest monument category A.
The original farm dates from the late 18th century. However, it got its present appearance through the extensive redesign and expansion in 1860. Unusual for work on a structure of this rank is the involvement of the renowned architect Frederick Thomas Pilkington and the stonemasons and builders Andrew Stevenson , James Hannan and Thomas Henderson . The design shows motifs such as those used by Pilkington at the Penicuik South Church in Penicuik and the Barclay Viewforth Church in Edinburgh . A clock tower was added to the stables to the east in 1955. However, the monument protection does not extend to this building.
description
Halls Farm is isolated on an insignificant dead-end road in a sparsely populated region of East Lothians. The hamlet of Spott is about three kilometers to the northeast. The asymmetrically constructed farm is designed in the neo-Romanesque style. The layered masonry is partly decorated as a bosswork . Parts of the masonry of the original building have been preserved along the back of the building. It consists of quarry stone roughly cut into blocks.
A massive gable surface emerges on the south-facing front. The twin windows embedded there are worked with central posts with capitals decorated with foliage . A compact, massive pillar supports the hipped roof of a canopy in the building's interior corner to the right of the gable. The west side is designed in the style of the north facade. At the north end a door leads into the dairy, which is indicated by the label DAIRY on the lintel. The building closes with slate roofs.
