Fordell's Lodging, 16-18 Church Street, Inverkeithing

Fordell's Lodging is a traditional town house located at 16-18 Church Street in Inverkeithing, built between 1666 and 1671, with a 20th century addition to the rear. This two-storey and attic building features an L-plan layout and an angle turret. The exterior is finished with ochre-tinted harling over rubble, complemented by ashlar detailing on the turret and dressings. Notable architectural features include chamfered basement windows, raised margins with chamfers on the first and second floors, crowsteps, beaked skewputts, and cat-slide dormers. A 20th century lean-to entrance porch is situated at the rear northwest angle. Inside, there is a plaster armorial panel from the time of Charles II.

The principal elevation has four ground floor windows, with the two smaller ones on the right. There are three windows on both the first and second floors. The two-stage angle turret is located at the far right, corbelled out from the first floor, and features three small square windows on each stage, a string course, and a conical roof.

On the northeast elevation, there is a large 20th century quarter-turn stone stair leading to the lean-to doorway extension at the far right. Evidence of small square windows, which were blocked in 2003, can be seen at the first stair landing to the left and at the second floor level. The angle turret is positioned at the far left.

The rear elevation shows an advanced crowstepped gabled wing to the right, with an off-centre ground floor window on the left, a first floor window on the left, and a second floor window on the right.

On the south elevation, there is a timber boarded door to the right, which was formerly a window, along with first floor windows to the right. A second floor window on the right has been blocked, and there is a small louvred attic floor window to the right of the gable. The raised rubble profile of the house, which formerly adjoined the centre of the gabled elevation, features ashlar dressings.

The building has 12-pane timber sash and case windows, pitched roofs covered with graded grey slates, and coped ashlar stacks with circular clay cans.

The interior has been converted for use as a church hall since the 1920s, featuring a small raised platform at the rear on the first floor, flanked by timber Roman Doric columns. A painted plaster royal armorial over-mantel depicting the arms of Charles II is set in the north wall.
