7 Canmore Street, Dunfermline

7 Canmore Street in Dunfermline is a three-storey, four-bay, semi-detached building designed by Muirhead and Rutherford in 1912. It was originally used as gas offices and features a ground floor shopfront intended for a showroom. The building showcases a stripped Edwardian Baroque style, highlighted by a broken-bed segmental pediment with flanking pilasters on the principal north elevation, and an oeil-de-boeuf window on the west elevation.

The principal elevation is finished in polished ashlar above a ground floor made of channelled polished granite. The west elevation is constructed from red brick, which is partially harled, and features sandstone ashlar dressings. The eastern side is built with coursed sandstone rubble. Notable architectural details include a moulded cornice at the ground floor and eaves, along with cill and lintel bands on the second floor. The first and second floor windows on the principal elevation have moulded architraves, with bracketed cills on the first floor windows.

On the north elevation, there is a large entrance in the left bay, featuring a replacement two-leaf timber door set within a wooden screen that includes a rounded fanlight. Above the entrance is a fascia board supported by pairs of rounded granite brackets. The refurbished shopfront to the right is set back slightly, with a recessed central entrance that has a replacement glazed two-leaf timber door and full-height shop windows on either side, all resting on a granite base. Each bay has windows on all floors, with the wider outer left bay featuring a central stone mullion and vertically connecting architraves, while the central bay on the right also has vertically connecting architraves. The second-floor windows on the outer bays have aprons, and the wider left bay is flanked by pilasters and topped with the broken-bed segmental pediment that displays the Borough coat of arms at its center.

The west elevation has been altered, with most openings blocked. It retains a two-light mullioned window on the outer left for the first and second floors, along with an oeil-de-boeuf window to the right on the second floor.

The upper floors of the principal elevation feature 15-pane timber sash and case windows, and the building is topped with a piended grey slate roof. Coped wallhead stacks are present on the east and west sides, made of sandstone and red brick respectively, with round cans. A notable original cast-iron downpipe with a decorative hopper dated '1912' is located to the right of the principal elevation.

The interior of the building was not inspected in 1998.
