Description

59-69 High Street in Burntisland is a mid to later 19th century tenement building that stands three stories tall and has a rectangular plan with three bays. It features a projecting round stair at the rear and is part of an irregular terrace that includes the 18th century Star Tavern to the east and a modern block to the west. The front facade is made of ashlar stone with architraved margins and bracketed cills, while the rear is constructed from coursed whinstone with heavy pointing and partial harling on the stair.

The south elevation, facing High Street, is symmetrical with a central door flanked by windows in the outer bays. The first and second floors have smaller, regular windows. The northeast elevation features a round stair at the center with a window between the floors and small windows on both levels of the west face. There is also a window to the right at both the first and second levels, and three rooflights are present.

The west elevation is adjacent to a modern building that is slightly recessed, allowing for windows at the outer right on the first and second floors. The ground floor has modern top-opening plate glass glazing, while the upper floors feature plate glass glazing in timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slates, and the building has ashlar coped skews and gablehead stacks with cans.
