Description
The Queen's Hotel, located on High Street in Elie, is a later 19th century Victorian building designed in an idiosyncratic free Renaissance style. It features two storeys and a mansard attic, with most of the exterior finished in painted ashlar, except for the door architrave and the first floor facing Chapman's Place. The hotel has a seven-bay front that faces High Street.
The left four bays were originally semi-detached houses, with a pair of bracketed doorpieces and single-light windows above at the center. The first floor has canted three-light oriel bays above ground floor bipartite windows, with the right-hand bipartite replaced by a door. Canted dormers are situated above, with a steeper central section that includes two arched dormers.
On the right side, there are two windows with two lights to the left, leading to a pilastered splayed corner shop on the right at ground level. The left side features an oriel canted bay, while the right side has two pedimented windows flanking a corbelled cruciform chimney breast and a rectangular bay that is corbelled out over the corner. The first floor has four pilastered lights, and there is a miniature arcaded parapet that cants to the left over the oriel arched dormer on either side of the chimney shaft, along with an arcaded octagon topped with a prismatic roof over the corner bay. The entrance features a pedimented doorpiece with an arched window above, a corbelled chimney, and an arched dormer on the gable.
