Scope and Content View from west of Kilns House, Kilns Road, Falkirk, Stirlingshire Kilns House was built in 1852 to designs by architect William Stirling III. It is a two-storeyed, asymmetrical-plan villa built in the Tudor-Jacobean style. The villa's façade includes stonework and carvings of high quality, and would have been the home of a wealthy Falkirk family. This shows the rear of the house. Steps lead down to the garden from a small back door. The small extension (left) has an advanced bay with gable at the wall-head, and the main building has gableted first floor windows and a string course above the mullioned (stone-framed) ground floor windows. William Stirling III came from a family of architects, and worked on various mansions in the Falkirk area before beginning work on the huge Stirling District Asylum in 1866. Unfortunately he fell ill during its construction, and had to hand over the commission to Thomas Brown of the architectural firm of Brown & Wardrop. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
