Forth Park Mansion
Built circa 1860, with later additions. The mansion was the home of linoleum manufacturer Daniel Hendry from 1875 to his death in 1893. In 1934 the house and grounds were gifted to the town by Mrs R Wemyss Honeyman (daughter of John Nairn) of Westdean. The subsequent conversion to administration block with nearby newly built maternity hospital was carried out by William Williamson at a cost of £12,000, and officially opened on 23rd November, 1935. The Mansion House admin block was closed in September 2001 over concerns about its structural stability. The Forth Park Hospital itself closed on Monday, January 9, 2012. Planning Permission in Principal for a residential development on the site of the former hospital, including the conversion of the mansion house and associated stables, was conditionally approved Aug 2011. However, in spite of being Category B listed, the Mansion House is not being maintained and is now listed on the Buildings at Risk Register for Scotland as in 'very poor' condition and at 'high risk'.
