Description

Nationwide Anglia, located at 100-102 High Street in Dunfermline, is a three-storey and attic commercial building originally designed as a bank by Frank Burnet and Boston of Glasgow in 1914. The building features a free classical design with Baroque detailing, including an open-topped segmental pediment and an oeil de boeuf window above the entrance, as well as a shaped gable. The outer bays are canted on the first and second floors. The principal elevation is made of polished sandstone ashlar, with later polished granite facing at the base and a semi-rusticated ground floor up to a band course.

On the principal (south) elevation, there is an architraved entrance to the left, which is topped by an open-topped segmental pediment supported by flanking brackets. Above this, the oeil de boeuf window features a keyblock and a festooned apron at the apex of the pediment, with flanking block finials that have tapered heads. To the left, there is a large display window opening with a moulded architrave, fitted with a late 20th-century glazed timber shopfront and door, and a fascia frieze above. A narrow coped balcony on the first floor has a small cast iron balustrade at the center, with guttae on the flanking brackets and vertical garlands on the outer brackets. The central tall window has a radiating keyblock, flanked by three-light windows, each with a central keyblock. The second floor has an identical arrangement but includes aprons for each window and lacks keyblocks, featuring a corniced panel above the central window and square garlands over the central light of the canted bays. A band course runs along the lintels, except at the canted bays, which are corniced at the apex. The gable above features a Palladian window with a flat lintel and a radiating keyblock for the central light, with the gable rounded at the apex and flanked by scrolls at the base.

The upper storeys have two-pane and multi-pane timber sash and case windows, and the roofs are covered with grey slate. There is an ashlar gablehead stack with a moulded cornice on the west side, topped with round cans. The interior was not inspected in 1998.
