5-11 Douglas Street, Dunfermline

5-11 Douglas Street in Dunfermline is a semi-detached commercial building, likely designed by Andrew Scobie for himself in 1888, with some alterations. It stands three stories tall with an attic and features a three-bay Italianate design. The principal elevation is polished ashlar, while the side elevations are brick with ashlar dressings. The ground-floor shopfront has a moulded cornice, and there is a moulded band course above the first-floor windows, topped by a frieze that connects to the cills of the second-floor windows. The building has eaves cornices and architraves around the windows on the first and second floors, with lugged architraves on the second floor. The gables are coped.

On the eastern (principal) elevation, there is a pilastered entrance on the outer left, with a consoled cornice supporting an elaborate frieze that features scrolled sides and a central cartouche dated 1888, flanked by swags and topped with a pediment. The entrance has a two-leaf, six-panel timber door with a rectangular fanlight. To the right, there are late 20th-century glazed shopfronts that are partly recessed. Another entrance with a plain timber door and rectangular fanlight is located on the outer right. The three main floors are flanked by rusticated corner pilasters, except on the outer right of the ground floor. The first-floor bays are divided by rusticated pilasters, while the second-floor bays are divided by panelled pilasters. Each bay on the first floor features a three-light round-arched arcaded window with pilastered mullions, and each bay on the second floor has a two-light window. Above, there are polygonal piended dormers for each bay.

The southern elevation has irregular fenestration with stone cills on the windows, including a round-arched stair window with border-glazing on the right.

The building mainly has two-pane timber sash and case windows, with flanking gablehead stacks that have moulded cornices. The roof is covered with grey slate. The interior was not inspected in 1998.
