Description

29 St Clair Street in Kirkcaldy is an early 19th century, two-storey, five-bay former indigo mill that includes living accommodation above. The ground floor openings were altered in the later 19th century, and the building was renovated in 1996. It is part of an irregular terrace to the south, constructed with roughly coursed sandstone rubble at the ground level and squared and coursed stone above, with a harled extension at the rear. The ground floor features stone margins that are droved.

On the east elevation, there is a boarded timber door at the center, flanked by two large windows on the left, with a recessed wall-mounted 'Bundy Clock' beyond, and two smaller windows on the right. The first floor has four windows. The north elevation has a gabled appearance with a large window to the right and a small window to the left at ground level.

The west elevation features a bay to the right of center with a stone stair leading to a first-floor door, and a piend-roofed extension with a window on the return to the left, which abuts a small rubble extension to the left below a relieving arch. The windows throughout have 12- and 16-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case. The roof is covered with modern pantiles, with slate easing courses on the east side. There are coped ashlar stacks with thackstanes, including one on the north side with cans, and ashlar-coped skews.
