Description
St Clair House, located at 2-6 St Clair Street in Kirkcaldy, was built in 1885 and altered in 1927. This two-storey, nine-bay building serves as a tavern and houses, positioned on a corner site. The exterior features squared and snecked rubble, with some sections made of Aberdeen Bond, and is accented by stugged quoins. There is an eaves course and a part dividing course, along with corbels, chamfered arrises, and stone mullions.
On the southwest corner, the building has a rounded corner with a part-glazed door at ground level and windows in the flanking bays. A bipartite window is located on the first floor, flanked by additional windows, and features a monogrammed datestone above. The outer angles are corbelled to a square, topped with a square pavilion roof that has decorative cast-iron brattishing.
The east elevation, facing St Clair Street, has a deep-set timber door at the center with windows on either side, and regular fenestration on the first floor. The south elevation, facing Dysart Road, also features a deep-set timber door with a small pane fanlight at the center, flanked by windows and regular fenestration on the first floor.
The windows are timber sash and case, with a 12-pane glazing pattern and plate glass glazing. The roof is covered with graded grey and fishscale slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with a full complement of polygonal cans, ashlar-coped skews, and scroll skewputts.
The interior of St Clair Tavern has been modernized.
