Description
104-106 High Street in Dunfermline is a three-storey and attic commercial building designed by Sydney Mitchell and Wilson between 1903 and 1906 for the Commercial Bank. It features a five-bay terraced layout with a Free Palladian design, characterized by Palladian windows and a central pediment that includes a thermal window. The principal elevation is made of polished sandstone ashlar, with a V-jointed ground floor that has later polished granite facing at the base. There is a band course above the ground floor, and a moulded eaves cornice above the second floor, extending to the parapet and pediment at the top.
The south elevation is symmetrical, with a central architraved entrance topped by a consoled cornice and a segmental-headed fanlight. The entrance has a late 20th-century glazed two-leaf door. Large segmental-headed windows flank the entrance. The outer bays also feature architraved entrances with pulvinated friezes and carved cornices, each with an overlight window above. The central three bays are slightly recessed on the upper storeys, separated by Ionic pilasters and half-pilasters. The central bay on the first and second floors has a flat-headed Venetian window, with the first-floor window corniced and adorned with a broken-bed segmental pediment, a cartouche at the base, and pilastered mullions. Above is an entablature with a dentilled cornice supporting a pediment that includes a thermal window and a cartouche at the apex. The flanking bays also have windows on the first and second floors, with a parapet above.
The ground floor has been completely modernized with large pane windows from the late 20th century, while the upper floors retain 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The building features wallhead stacks with moulded ashlar cornices on both the east and west sides, and the roof is hidden by a parapet.
