Old Shoemaker's House, Tanhouse Brae, Culross

The Old Shoemaker's House, located on Tanhouse Brae in Culross, dates back to 1669. This single-storey, four-bay house features a harled exterior with stone surrounds, a cavetto eaves course, and a decorative doorpiece.

On the northwest elevation, the central door is framed by a moulded, blocked, lugged stone door surround with a keystone. Steps lead up to the door, with a bridge step that overlaps an open street drain. Flanking the door are single windows that sit close to the eaves. To the right of the central door is a laigh door, which has a carved shield in the lintel inscribed with 'HH BD 1669'.

The northeast elevation is attached to Forth View, while the southeast elevation was not visible in 2001. The southwest elevation is attached to 5 Tanhouse Brae.

The house features 12-pane timber sash and case windows and a replacement timber door. The pitched roof is covered with slate laid in diminishing courses, and the southwest gable has crowstepped detailing, a curved skewputt, and renewed crowsteps. Gable apex stacks are present as well. The interior was not seen in 2001.
