NT29SE 154 27847 91755

Architect:

James Gillespie

1895

Demolished. Fife College tower block now stands on part of the the site.

The 1st edition of the OS 25-inch map (Fifeshire, 1896, sheet) depicts and annotates the buildings as 'Technical College' and shows a location set back from St Brycedale Avenue and fronting on to Carlyle Road. By the date of the Revision edition of the 25-inch (1914), the group of huts and small buildings had been replaced by two main blocks and annotated 'High School'.

The Provisional Edition of 1938 retains the depiction of the two blocks, but shows the addition of the 1926 'Technical School' (NT29SE 453).

The modern tower block has been built on the part of the site, with the two earlier blocks being demolished.
