178 High Street, Kirkcaldy

178 High Street in Kirkcaldy is a later 19th-century, three-storey and attic, three-bay tenement building that has been altered at the ground level. The structure is built of ashlar stone and features stone cills and an eaves cornice.

On the north elevation facing High Street, there is a panelled timber door with a six-pane fanlight located to the outer left at ground level. To the right, there is a deep-set glazed shop door and a display window across the centre, all beneath a deep fascia. The display window extends from the adjacent property at No. 176 to the outer right. The first and second floors each have three windows, and there are flat-roofed timber dormer windows over the outer bays.

The second-floor and dormer windows feature a 12-pane glazing pattern in timber sash and case style, while the first-floor windows have plate glass glazing with a three-pane top-opening design. The ground level includes a fixed display window. The roof is covered with grey slates.
