Orient Express Cinema, 44-46 East Port, Dunfermline

The Orient Express Cinema, located at 44-46 East Port in Dunfermline, was designed by Crawford and Fraser and built between 1912 and 1913, with alterations made in the 1980s. This three-storey building with a basement features a three-bay principal elevation that faces south. It showcases a classical design with Art Deco detailing, characterized by a pilastered façade and a thermal window situated above the entrance canopy. The principal elevation is rendered and painted, featuring a base course, a band course at the second-floor cill level, a frieze adorned with a raised diamond pattern, and a moulded eaves cornice. The windows on the principal elevation are architraved, and the gables are coped.

The south elevation is symmetrically arranged, with a wide central entrance bay. Steps lead up to the entrance, which consists of a pair of two-leaf glazed timber doors topped with rectangular fanlights and a flat canopy decorated with lozenges. On either side of the entrance are paired Art Deco glazed timber advertising cases. Above the entrance is a thermal window, and there is a low three-light window on the second floor, with an architrave featuring disks along the lintel at the junction with the vertical members. Each of the flanking outer bays has low basement windows. Tall round-arched stair windows are located above each side, with architraves that include disk motifs at the springing points and an oval embossed panel at the base of the cill, flanked by outer panels with guttae below. The bays are separated by a tetrastyle arrangement of pilasters, each with a disk motif set within a cross as the capital, and flanked by pendant bell-shaped beading. The shouldered gable end, which was previously fitted with a lunette, is set back and harled.

The principal elevation features timber fixed light and casement windows. The stair windows and part of the second-floor window in the central bay retain leaded glass with blue Art Deco style designs. The building is topped with grey slate roofs.

The interior was remodeled during its conversion into three smaller auditoria in the 1980s.
