Description

137 High Street in Kirkcaldy is a small tenement building dating from around 1900. It stands three stories tall and features three bays, showcasing classical architectural details. The building has shops on the ground floor and is constructed from polished ashlar stone with channelled quoin strips. There is a cill course at the first floor and an eaves cornice. The first-floor windows are architraved and lugged, while the second-floor windows have raised margins. All window cills are bracketed, and the design includes triple keystones and stone mullions.

On the south elevation facing High Street, there are two modern shops at ground level, each with a deep-set central door and flanking display windows above panelled aprons. The first floor features a central window with an open pediment and keystone, along with corniced tripartite windows that have a segmental rise over the centre lights in the flanking bays. The second floor has a central window flanked by tripartite windows as well.

The north elevation facing Hill Street includes a flat-roofed extension at the ground floor in the center and left sections, with a window in the right bay and three windows on the first floor.

The building's windows are timber sash and case, featuring 4-pane and plate glass glazing patterns. The first floor's left window has a broad timber mullion. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are shouldered wallhead stacks on the north side and gablehead stacks on the east side, all made of coped ashlar with cans. The ashlar-coped skews are adorned with moulded skewputts.
