Description

26-28 Guildhall Street in Dunfermline is an early 19th-century terraced house, possibly incorporating earlier materials. It has two stories and a basement, with a three-bay layout. The principal (west) elevation features dressed sandstone with ashlar dressings and an eaves cornice. The central entrance is flanked by pilasters that support an entablature with a moulded cornice, leading to a replacement panelled timber door with a rectangular fanlight. There are flanking windows and an entrance to a vennel on the outer left. The first floor has one window in each bay, and above are a pair of piended dormers, likely added in the late 19th century. The basement has two inserted openings with chamfered surrounds and timber doors to the right.

The east elevation includes a circular-plan stairtower at the center, with a window on each floor to either side, and a small harled ground floor extension to the left. The south elevation has two small attic windows and one first-floor window to the left, above an adjoining property.

The principal elevation features 2 and 4-pane timber sash and case windows, while the rear mainly has modern casements. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there is a dressed sandstone gablehead stack with a moulded ashlar cornice on the south side, topped with round cans.
