Description
Cross Buildings, located at 29A High Street in Kinghorn, is a late 19th-century, three-storey, six-bay tenement building that features classical detailing and shops on the ground floor. The structure is constructed from stugged, squared, and snecked rubble with ashlar dressings. It has a deep stone fascia and a cornice at the ground floor, a moulded cill course on the first floor, and a mutuled cornice at the eaves. The building includes keystoned, moulded, round-headed pend and tenement doorways, as well as fluted Ionic dividing pilasters at all ground floor shops. The windows are architraved, with pedimented windows on the first floor and aproned windows on the second floor, featuring stone mullions.
On the northwest elevation facing High Street, there is a shop window with roller shutters in the off-centre left bay at ground level, flanked by round-headed keystoned doorways. The left doorway has a modern part-glazed timber door with a decorative astragal fanlight, while the right leads to a pend with 'CROSS BUILDINGS' displayed on the fascia above. To the right of centre, there are two traditional shopfronts (now converted to one interior) with outer fixed display windows and in-canted part-glazed timber doors, complemented by deep plate glass fanlights and mosaic tiled floors. A two-bay shop to the left of centre features a bipartite fixed display window on the outer left and another display window with an in-canted door in the right bay. Both the first and second floors have bipartite windows in bays one, three, and six, while the remaining bays have single windows.
The northeast elevation has windows at the outer right on both the first and second floors. The principal elevation features timber sash and case windows with 4-pane and plate glass glazing patterns. The roof is slated, with coped ashlar stacks that have a full complement of cans, ashlar-coped skews, and cast-iron downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers and fixings.
Inside, the building boasts stone staircases with cast-iron barleytwist balusters and timber handrails.
