Description

The Tron House, located on Back Causeway in Culross, is an 18th-century building with a later 19th-century frontage. It is a two-storey, three-bay house featuring a base course, eaves course, window architraves, and prominent long and short quoins on the main elevation. The exterior is rendered.

On the southwest, or principal elevation, there is a central window that was once a door, surrounded by pilasters. Flanking this are bipartite windows, and above them is a continuous corniced frieze. Three first-floor windows are centered above, aligned with the eaves, and there is a spur stone to the left.

The northwest elevation has a door located to the center left, with a gatepost to the left and a first-floor window above. A rear wing is set back slightly to the left, featuring a window to the right, a two-leaf door to the left, and a passage opening at the far left. Two first-floor windows are positioned close to the eaves.

The northeast elevation is attached to 10 Back Causeway. The southeast elevation has a former central architraved shop front, with a bipartite window to the right and a blocked section to the left, along with a corniced frieze. There is a first-floor window to the left, and the rear wing to the right includes two ground-floor windows and a window in the right return. The first floor is set back, featuring a window to the left and a canted bow window to the right. A passage door is located at the far right, with a jettied first floor and a window above the door.

The house predominantly features two-pane timber sash and case windows with horns, along with timber and glazed doors, and a timber boarded door leading to the passage. The roof is pitched and slated, with corniced gable apex stacks, polygonal stacks, and scroll skewputts. There is also a rear pitched slated wing.

The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 2001.
