Kirkcaldy’s former Hunter Hospital has been transformed into five flats.
The classic town centre building was converted by Kingdom Housing Association, which bought it last year.
The flats, along with two common areas, will provide supported accommodation for older adults experiencing recurring homelessness.
Kingdom said the project supports Fife’s rapid rehousing strategy while also ensuring the future of the B-listed building.
The work was carried out by Campion Homes on Kingdom Homes’ behalf and cost £880,000.
More than £400,000 was provided by the Scottish Government and Fife Council.
Hunter Hospital
The Hunter Hospital began life in 1785 as St Brycedale House.
It was later bought by cabinet-maker John Hunter, who left it in trust to be converted into a hospital on his death.
It opened in 1936 and was renamed Hunter Hospital.
The hospital eventually closed in 1992 and lay empty for almost a decade.
Viewpoint Housing then bought it and demolished part of the building, replacing it with affordable flats.
The association renamed it Hunter House.
It converted the rest into a day care centre and a dementia unit, which closed in 2009.
The Kingdom Housing project
Kingdom Housing Association said the project had been challenging but rewarding.
Chief executive Bill Banks said: “The conversion work completed on Hunter House is incredible.
“Our designers and contractors have been able to retain many of the features that make this building unique and I’m confident that the new residents will enjoy the blend of classic architecture combined with modern design and materials.
“This project has only been possible due to the great support from Fife Council, the Scottish Government, Kingdom Support and Care and many other partners.
“I’m pleased Kingdom is able to make affordable housing available in this iconic listed building.”
The community has benefited
Julie Watson, Kingdom’s interim head of capital investment, added: “This has been a very challenging but thoroughly rewarding project.
“In addition to the conversion of this historic building into five high-quality affordable homes, it has enabled a range of community benefits to be delivered including two ew apprenticeships, three existing apprenticeships and the creation of two new labouring jobs.
“Campion Homes also made a financial donation to the local foodbank and funded the furniture starter packs for the new Hunter House homes.
“This project is an excellent example of what can be achieved through collaborative working.”
