Description
34 High Street in Kirkcaldy is a later 19th century three-storey, three-bay tenement building that features a shop on the ground floor. The structure is constructed of ashlar stone with random rubble and ashlar quoins at the rear, and it has a cill course on the second floor.
On the north elevation facing High Street, the shop is located to the right of center on the ground floor, with a door to the right and a display window to the left. There is a further door with narrow lights flanking it in the bay to the left, topped by a deep timber fascia. The first floor has three windows situated below the large letters spelling 'STEWART BUILDINGS', while the second floor features three dormer-headed windows that break the eaves.
The south elevation includes a lean-to extension on the ground floor, with two windows on the first floor, one of which is almost completely blinded, and two windows on the second floor.
The building has four-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, with plate glass glazing on the ground floor of the north elevation. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there is a coped ashlar stack with cans to the east and ashlar coped skews.
