Description
112-114 High Street in Burntisland is a classical commercial building from the later part of the 19th century, designed in a palazzo style. It has three stories and four bays, featuring a shop on the ground floor and is part of an irregular terrace. The building is constructed with polished ashlar at the front, which is painted at the ground level, while the sides and rear are made of coursed rubble. It includes a base course, a moulded string course, a cill course on the second floor, an impost course, and an eaves cornice.
On the north elevation facing High Street, there is a deep-set, round-headed, timber panelled door with a plate glass fanlight, located slightly to the right of the center within a broad doorcase that has an impost moulding and an ornate keystone. This door is flanked by broad pilasters. To the left, there is a part-glazed shop door with a plate glass fanlight and flanking pilasters. Display windows are located to the left of the door, featuring round-headed glazed jambs in the door recess, all beneath a fascia and cornice. The first and second floor windows are arranged in a 1-2-1 grouping; the first-floor windows are flanked by pilasters, with the center pair beneath a moulded canopy, while the flanking windows have open pediments, all adorned with foliate capitals and scrolled keystones.
The south elevation is narrower than the north and is partially obscured at ground level. It has two windows on both the first and second floors, with a quadripartite rooflight to the left.
The west elevation narrows to the right and is chamfered to the left at the second floor. The building features plate glass glazing throughout, with timber sash and case windows on the upper floors. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there are ashlar coped skews and gablehead stacks with cans.
