East Port Bar, 5-7 East Port, Dunfermline

This is a three-storey and attic commercial building, constructed in 1911 by Muirhead and Rutherford and located at 5-7 East Port, Dunfermline. It is an asymmetrical Edwardian Baroque design, set within a terraced row. The principal (north) elevation is faced in polished sandstone ashlar, with a frieze and cornice to the ground floor and a low, coped parapet to the roof. Segmental arches with concave reveals and scrolled brackets form the keyblocks to the ground floor openings.

The first and second-floor windows of each bay are vertically linked within shared architraves. The first and second-floor windows have projecting cills, with those on the first floor bracketed. The ground floor features a pair of entrances to the right, with chamfered and stopped jambs, each containing original two-leaf panelled timber doors and segmental-headed fanlights. To the left of the entrances are windows with moulded jambs and splayed cills. Each upper floor has a two-light mullioned window in the right bay. The first and second-floor windows in this bay are joined by a shared architrave, the upper one topped by a segmental pediment with a cornice extending across the bay’s width. A two-light dormer window in the attic above has a timber mullion. The left bays each have a window to the first and second floors, all with moulded surrounds within vertically adjoining architraves. The lower windows feature prominent radiating keyblocks and shaped open-bed pediments, while the upper windows have smaller keyblocks, relieving arches, and aprons. Two of the left bays are topped by a shouldered gable with a narrow, segmental-headed attic window and keyblock in the center.

The principal (north) elevation features two-pane timber sash and case windows; the ground floor has four-pane fixed lights with mutuled transoms, and the upper ground floor window are four-pane fixed lights/casements with mutuled horizontal astragals. The building has a grey slate platform roof and a corniced ashlar wallhead stack shared with the adjacent property at 1-3 East Port. An original cast-iron downpipe with decorative foliate hoppers is visible on the left side of the principal elevation. Inside the building, the right-hand entrance hallway has a tiled dado. The ground floor now contains a late 20th-century open-plan bar, accessible from the left-hand entrance.
