Description

7-9 High Street in Dunfermline is likely an early 19th-century building that has been significantly altered at the ground level. It is a two-storey structure with an attic, featuring a four-bay terraced design and modern shopfronts on the ground floor. The first floor of No 7 showcases a large early 20th-century pedimented window aedicule. The ground floor is glazed and tiled, while the first floor is finished in painted ashlar, with the aedicule made of timber.

On the principal elevation, No 9 has two windows on the first floor and a piended dormer to the right. The first floor of No 7 features a large aediculed window that spans both bays, consisting of a central two-pane plate glass opening flanked by composite Corinthian pilasters and narrow outer lights that also terminate in composite Corinthian pilasters. Below the window are panelled aprons, and above is an entablature with a mutuled cornice and a central mutuled pediment. There is a flat-roofed four-light dormer above this window.

The first floor of No 9 has 12-pane timber sash and case windows, while other windows throughout the building consist of two and four-pane timber designs, except for the ground floor shopfronts. The roofs are covered in grey slate, and there is a brick end stack on the eastern side. The interior was not inspected in 1998.
