Description
180 High Street in Kirkcaldy is an early 20th-century building that has been altered at the ground level. It is three stories tall with an attic and features a three-bay Wrenaissance style. The building has a gabled and platform roof and is constructed from polished red sandstone ashlar with raised quoin strips. The first-floor windows are lugged and architraved, while the second-floor windows have Gibbsian surrounds. There is a dividing course on the first floor and a mutuled eaves cornice with a blocking course, along with keystones.
The north elevation, facing High Street, is symmetrical. At the ground level, there is a modern shop with a central door and flanking display windows. The first floor has three tall windows, and the second floor also features three windows. The center bay is advanced above the ground and has a segmental pediment that breaks the eaves line. There are corniced square pedestals at the outer angles and a tripartite, pedimented timber dormer window in the center, which has a finialled, projecting, piended roof section behind it.
The windows have 12- and 15-pane glazing in timber sash and case style, while the timber dormer window has small-pane glazing. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar end stacks, which are corniced to the west, along with ashlar-coped skews.
