The Commercial Inn, Douglas Street, Dunfermline

The Commercial Inn, located on Douglas Street in Dunfermline, is an earlier 19th-century public house that has undergone some alterations. It is a two-storey building with an attic and features a rectangular plan, highlighted by a curved entrance bay at the corner of Queen Anne Street and Douglas Street. The structure has a prominent wallhead stack with curved pediment-like shoulders facing Queen Anne Street. The exterior is made of coursed dressed painted stone with painted ashlar dressings, including a base course along Douglas Street, a band course above the fascia board, and an eaves band. The windows have projecting cills.

On the east elevation facing Douglas Street, there are five bays. The central and outer right bays once had entrances or display windows, but these have been replaced with standard windows. Flanking pilasters support a corniced entablature that steps out slightly from the fascia board. The fenestration is regular, though the outer left bay on the ground floor and the two outer right bays on the first floor have blocked windows. There are also a pair of piended polygonal dormer windows, with the right one featuring a large modern boxed extension.

The north elevation facing Queen Anne Street has four bays. There are possibly inserted entrances in the curved bay at the outer left and outer right bays, featuring two-leaf panelled timber doors set back with rectangular fanlights. A small blocked window is located to the right of the entrance in the outer right bay, and there are two windows (one narrow) in the bay to the left. The fenestration is otherwise regular, and there is a piended polygonal dormer window to the right of the wallhead stack.

The building mainly has two-pane timber sash and case windows and a piended grey slate roof. The wallhead stack is coped and has curved pediment-like shoulders on the Queen Anne Street elevation, although the cans are missing.

Inside, the ground floor features a late 20th-century open-plan public house interior.
