Description
This is an earlier 19th century, three-storey and attic, six-bay tenement and public house, with a two-bay, later 19th century extension to the north. The building occupies numbers 7, 9, 11, 1, 3, and 5 High Street, Inverkeithing.
The eastern, principal elevation is constructed of droved ashlar, while the northern side is rendered, and the southern and western sides are of coursed and random rubble with droved ashlar margins. A base course, cill courses, a corniced eaves course, and moulded architraves are visible, along with a plain, low parapet. Painted ashlar and large openings mark the ground floor, which houses the public house. Polygonal piended dormers are present, and a full-height round stair tower is situated to the rear (west).
The ground floor of the principal elevation features ten bays. Windows are arranged in two groups of three, centrally and to the right, with raised wooden lettering "CENTRAL BAR" on fascia boards above each grouping. A doorway leads to the pub lounge on the far right, with an additional doorway and pub window to the second and third bays to the left. A close opening is located at the far left. There are six windows on the first and second floors. Four polygonal piended dormers, with slate cheeks (closer together and linked by a slated section on the right), are situated above.
The northern elevation adjoins numbers 2, 4, and 6 Church Street.
The rear (western) elevation has six bays with a semi-regular fenestration. A full-height rendered stair tower is off-centre to the right. A door and window are present on the left return, with two small windows on the right return. Two large windows are spaced between the ground, first, and second floors, topped by a squat conical roof. Advanced flat-roof kitchen extensions (two bays wide) are located at the ground floor to the far left, alongside a piended brick porch with stair access above. A metal door sits between the porch and the stair tower, and a box dormer with slate cheeks is on the left, while a rectangular dormer is on the right.
The southern elevation adjoins numbers 13 and 15 High Street.
The public house windows on the ground floor are large, six-pane timber designs with wooden panels above and below. Timber sash and case windows in plate glass are on the first floor. Twelve-pane timber sash and case windows are positioned in the four bays of the earlier 19th century section on the second floor, while two left-hand dormers have timber nine-pane sash and case windows. Plastic windows are present to the right at the second and attic floors. The rear of the earlier 19th century section has twelve-pane timber sash and case windows, while the rear of the later 19th century section features 20th century metal and plastic windows. The pitched roof is covered with grey slates. Stepped coped ashlar stacks are found at the southern gable head and central ridge, with octagonal clay cans. A corniced ashlar stack with circular clay cans is on the north gable head.
The ground floor interior of the public house presents a late 20th century interpretation of a traditional pub layout. A spiral stone stair rises to the rear stair tower, featuring decorative cast-iron balusters and a mahogany handrail. Upper flats in the earlier 19th century section retain their original layout and some original fixtures, including cast-iron balusters, a mahogany handrail on the stairs, decorative cornicing in public rooms, working shutters, and presses alongside fireplaces.
