Description
3-7 Bruce Street in Dunfermline is a pair of terraced tenement blocks built in the earlier 19th century, featuring three stories and an attic. The ground floor has 20th-century shopfronts. The northern block has four bays, while the southern block has five bays. The buildings are constructed from coursed dressed droved sandstone with polished ashlar dressings on the principal eastern elevation, and coursed rubble on the other sides. There is a cornice above the modern shop fasciae on the ground floor, a cill band on the first floor, and an eaves cornice. The cills are slightly projecting.
On the eastern elevation, the entrance to No 3 is set back and features a panelled timber door with a three-light rectangular fanlight. There is a blocked shopfront with pilaster strips to the left, and an earlier 20th-century shopfront with a recessed entrance and dentilled fascia at No 7. The ground floor has modern shopfronts and doors, while the first and second floors have regular fenestration with one window in each bay. The third, fourth, and fifth bays from the left have polygonal piended dormers, as does the outer right.
The western elevation shows later extensions to the lower floors of both blocks, with semicircular-plan stair towers for each tenement. There are two piended dormers, one of which is polygonal. The windows are 2 and 12-pane timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there are coped gablehead stacks on the north and south sides of the block, with round cans where they still exist. The interiors were not inspected in 1998.
