Co-Operative Store, Durie Street, Leven

The former Co-Operative Store on Durie Street in Leven, built in 1937 and converted to flats in 1997 by Davidson Design of Kirkcaldy, is a three-storey, five-bay building designed in the Art Deco style. It has an L-plan layout. The prominent feature is a two-storey, three-part window framed in granite with a cornice, a fielded bronze horizontal dividing band, and a carving at the top depicting a worker with their family and a beehive. The building also features a deep granite frieze, a cornice at the ground floor, and stepped flat-coped eaves, with large ashlar blocks and modern harl. There are dividing pilasters at the ground level.

The principal elevation is symmetrical. At the ground level, there is a modern door flanked by windows in the center bay, with bipartite windows in the flanking bays and tripartite windows in the outer bays. The first and second floors have a three-part window in the slightly advanced center bay, with stepped-back flanking bays each featuring narrow, full-height two-part pointed or angled windows with cornices similar to that of the center bay. The outer bays are further stepped back and have bipartite windows. During the 1990s alterations, narrow lights were inserted into the inner part of the outer bays at the first and second floors, as well as in bays two and four at the first floor only.

The windows on the first and second floors have small-pane glazing patterns, some of which are horizontal, while modern glazing is used elsewhere. The side and rear elevations have a pitch roof covered with grey slate and ashlar-coped skews.
