Tower Bar, White Rose Terrace, Methil

The Tower Bar, located on White Rose Terrace in Methil, is a public house built in 1906. This two-storey building is designed in a V-plan with traditional detailing, featuring crowstepped dormerheads and a slim, square-plan clock tower that rises five stages. The exterior is harled with stone margins, and there is a mutuled dividing course that suggests a jettied first floor. The building has a moulded eaves cornice and round-headed doors leading to the tower.

On the southwest side of the tower, there is an engaged section below the third stage. The first stage includes a blinded round-headed window and a timber door on each return. A modern brewers sign is positioned below an arrowslit on the southwest and returns at the second and third stages. The fourth stage features a clock with Roman numerals on each face, along with a smaller arrowslit near the cornice above. The roof is swept pyramidal with a louvered air vent, which may have been added later, located on the southwest and northwest sides.

The northwest elevation, facing Wellesley Road, has four bays. To the right of the centre, there is a panelled timber door with a plate glass fanlight, and a fixed timber bipartite window below a traditionally lettered timber sign that reads 'The TOWER BAR' in a curved bay on the outer right. There is a window to the left of the centre and another bipartite window further left. The first floor features two windows in the centre bays and flanking bipartite windows that break the eaves into crowstepped dormerheads.

The southeast elevation, facing Whyterose Terrace, has a door similar to the one on the northwest elevation in the bay to the left of centre, a bipartite window in a curved bay on the outer left, and two windows to the right. The first floor has four windows grouped as three to the centre and one to the right, with a shouldered wallhead stack to the left and an additional window on the outer left, all breaking the eaves into crowstepped dormerheads.

The windows are timber sash and case with plate glass glazing. The roof is covered with purple slates, and the coped harled stacks have a full complement of cans.

Inside, the bar retains its original timber features.
