Description

53-55 High Street in Dunfermline is a late 17th to early 18th century terraced tenement block that has undergone significant alterations and additions. The building is two stories with an attic and features three bays. The principal (north) elevation has a ground floor shopfront and a crow-stepped gable on the east side. The front is made of coursed painted stone, while other sides are harled, with sandstone ashlar dressings. The windows above the ground floor are architraved, and there is a moulded cornice on the principal elevation.

On the north elevation, there is a late 20th century glazed shopfront at the ground level, with a shop entrance that includes a rectangular fanlight to the outer left. To the outer right, there is a vennel entrance with a bracketed timber fascia board above. The first floor has three evenly spaced windows, and there are two former catslide dormers above that are now blocked.

The south elevation features a later lower-height extension that spans most of the side. There is a vennel entry to the left, a small window with a slightly chamfered architrave above, and a larger window above that. The building mainly has four-pane timber sash and case windows.
