Scope and Content County Buildings, St Catherine Street, Cupar, Fife Cupar County Buildings, originally the County Rooms, was built in about 1812-17 by Robert Hutchison, probably to designs by James Gillespie (Graham). The façade appears to have been influenced by the work of Robert Adam in Edinburgh's New Town where similar designs were used as the centre-pieces of terraces. Here, however, the building does not occupy a central position. St Catherine Street was developed by John Ferguson, banker and allegedly corrupt Provost, who probably hired Gillespie Graham to design the buildings. After Ferguson was bankrupted in 1817, the street was developed by architect-builder, Robert Hutchison. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
