Dunfermline Bowling Club Pavilion, Priory Lane, Dunfermline

The Dunfermline Bowling Club Pavilion, built in 1895 by T Hyslop Ure with later extensions, is a single-storey, five-bay rectangular bowling pavilion featuring swept roofs. The exterior is half-timbered with a gable on the left, a central veranda, and a conical-roofed canted bay on the right. The harled exterior is painted white and accented with sandstone ashlar dressings, timber veranda posts, and detailing. It has a base course, vertical angle margins, overhanging eaves, and architraved windows.

On the principal elevation, steps lead up to the four-bay veranda. The entrance is located in the central bay, featuring a two-leaf panelled timber door with a multi-pane rectangular fanlight that incorporates a clock. Flanking bays have a glazed timber screen with slender vertical members and multi-pane upper panels. The outer left bay contains a three-light mullioned window with a lintel raised to the central light. The gable is adorned with a finial and 'timber-framed' decoration, set forward above, along with a timber cornice and a projecting swept roof over the three bays to the right. The projecting roof sections are supported by timber posts at the bay divisions, each decoratively turned on a square-plan base with square upper sections adjoining a timber fretwork frieze. The outer right features a conical-roofed canted bay with a large three-light mullioned window and a frieze with decorative 'timber-framed' panels above, topped with a weathervane at the apex of the roof. The building has returns to the gabled bay on the south elevation with later flat-roofed additions set back, and to the north elevation.

The original block has timber-framed windows, mostly with multi-pane upper lights. The roofs are grey slate, swept apart from the west, with red ridge tiles. There is a piended corniced wallhead stack with vertical margins on the north side of the original block, though the cans are missing.

The boundary wall surrounding the bowling green to the east of the pavilion is made of coursed stugged sandstone and coursed sandstone rubble, featuring droved chamfered ashlar coping and roughly rounded coping. The wall includes long sections of railings to the north and south; the southern railings are decorative cast-iron originals, while the northern ones are modern replacements.
