Description

254 St Clair Street in Kirkcaldy is a late 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay commercial building featuring a Second Empire domed pavilion. The exterior is made of cleaned stone ashlar with channelled pilasters on the first floor, while the ground floor has lined cement render, and the sides are finished with courses and squared rubble. The building includes a dividing band course, frieze, and cavetto cornice, along with stone mullions.

On the west elevation, the ground floor has been converted into a modern restaurant, with a blocked door on the outer right. The first floor features a central bay with a tripartite window beneath a carved stone panel that displays 'beehive' and 'EST'D 1891'. This window breaks the eaves and is topped by a mutule segmental pediment, flanked by pilaster strips with floreate carved corbels that rise to ball-finialled polygonal turrets. The outer bays contain bipartite windows, also flanked by pilaster strips with fluted capitals. A large dome sits above the central bay, crowned with a substantial decorative lead finial.

The windows are fitted with plate glass glazing in timber sash and case style, while the ground floor features fixed display windows. The dome is covered in grey slates arranged in a fish-scale pattern. The building has a cavetto-coped ashlar stack with polygonal cans to the north, while the southern stack is truncated. Ashlar-coped skews and cast-iron downpipes with decorative cast-iron hoppers complete the structure.
