Description
8 High Street in Inverkeithing is an earlier 19th century building with an early 20th century shop front. It is a two-storey structure with an attic and a basement at the rear, featuring three bays and an additional curved bay to the south. The exterior is finished in painted stugged ashlar with stone cills, an eaves course, and carved scrolled skewputts. The Edwardian shop front includes Art Nouveau stained glass and a stained glass fanlight to the left, along with two large canted and gabled dormers.
On the west elevation, there is a recessed doorway located off-centre to the right, leading to a plate glass and timber Edwardian shop front adorned with Art Nouveau stained glass roundels and decorative lead astragals in the upper panes. To the far left, there is a timber panelled tenement door with an Art Nouveau stained glass fanlight above. The first floor features four unevenly spaced windows, and the two large gabled and canted dormers have slate cheeks.
The south elevation adjoins No 10 High Street. The east (rear) elevation has three bays, with a central basement door that is blocked with sheet metal and a small window to the left. There are three ground floor windows with iron bars, with the central window being smaller. The first floor also has three unevenly spaced windows, and there is a slate hung box dormer.
The north elevation adjoins Nos 4 and 4a High Street. Late 20th century uPVC windows have been installed on the first and attic floors. The building has a pitched roof covered with graded grey slates, straight stone skews, carved scrolled skewputts, a coped brick stack to the south, and circular clay cans.
As of 2003, no original features remain in the interior.
