4 Canmore Street, Dunfermline

4 Canmore Street in Dunfermline is a two-storey building designed in 1936 by R H Motion. It features a rectangular plan that curves segmentally at the rear and showcases a flat-roofed Art Deco style. The building was originally a gas board showroom and offices. The principal elevation has a polished sandstone ashlar facade, while the side elevations are rendered and harled, with a plain frieze above the first-floor windows.

On the principal (south) elevation, the projecting ground floor has a low parapet and chamfered sides, each adorned with a three-dimensional Art Deco motif topped with a ball finial on a bracket. The central entrance features a pilastered doorcase with a modern glazed two-leaf timber door set back within deep panelled reveals, topped by a carved geometric panel. Above this, a stepped parapet with a sunburst finial can be found. Large display windows flank the entrance, featuring deep lintels and outer pilasters with half-sunburst motifs. The first floor has a tall window set back in the centre, with incised horizontal lines on the lintel and paired flanking windows. The roofline is capped with a stepped pedestal course and a three-dimensional urn-like finial at the centre.

The west elevation includes an ashlar bay on the outer right, featuring a large architraved window on the ground floor, flanked by pilaster-like strips that extend to the roofline. A rectangular panel is situated between the upper level windows. To the left, there are two entrances and a narrow single-storey section. The first floor has irregular fenestration.

On the east elevation, there is an ashlar bay on the outer left and a pilaster-like strip to the right. It also features a large architraved window on the ground floor and a rectangular panel with incised horizontal lines above. A narrow single-storey ashlar section is located to the left, and the elevation curves around to the north, where there is a window on each storey.

The north elevation curves to the left to meet the east elevation, featuring an entrance with a window above and irregular flanking windows. The building mainly has border-glazed steel-framed windows with casement sections, as well as plate glass shop windows that originally had a sunburst glazing pattern in the upper sections. The flat roof has chimney pots visible on the east side.

The interior of the building has been largely modernised.
