Description
The Old Co-Operative Society Shop, located at 340-350 High Street in Leslie, was built in 1897 and underwent significant alterations to its shopfront in the 1950s. This two-storey building with an attic features a piend roof and is situated on a corner site where the ground slopes to the south. The exterior is made of coursed ashlar stone, highlighted by a wide, polished ashlar band that serves as a frieze above the display window. The building has a moulded eaves course, and the first-floor windows are framed with stone margins, mullions, and chamfered arrises.
The corner bay has a semicircular pedimented window set at a chamfered angle to the northeast. This window is flanked by rusticated pilasters that support a moulded architrave, which is adorned with ball finials and a decorative emblem featuring the date '1897' beneath the word 'Cooperative.' This is topped with a ball-finialled urn.
On the north (High Street) elevation, the building has a five-bay facade with a glazed ground floor. There are two deeply inset entrances with doors positioned at the canted inner angles; one is located to the right of the chamfered corner display windows, and the other is in the penultimate bay to the right. The ground floor is divided by four display windows and two additional display windows on the outer right. The first floor features bipartite windows in the centre, to the left of centre, and on the outer right, while the other windows are single. The roof includes two flat-roofed modern dormer windows.
The east elevation has one glazed bay of shop front to the left of the chamfered corner, with blank masonry for the remainder and blocked windows to the right. There are flat-roofed single-storey bays on the outer left.
The plate glass display windows are situated below etched fanlights that bear the words 'Mantles, Millinery, Drapery, Hardware, Furniture, Gents, Outfitting.' The domestic apartments at the rear feature modern plate glass glazing in uPVC windows, except for the window to the right of centre, which has a modern hardwood frame. The right side of the High Street elevation includes timber sash and case windows with two-pane lower sashes. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are ashlar coped skews and a moulded skewputt, along with coped ashlar stacks. The east stack at the wallhead is shouldered and coursed, with some cans and a decorative rainwater hopper.
