35-37 East Port, Dunfermline

35-37 East Port in Dunfermline is a pair of semi-detached tenement blocks built in the earlier 19th century. These two-storey and basement buildings have three bays and feature a classical design highlighted by Doric columns flanking the main entrance. The basement is constructed from heavily rockfaced sandstone, while the ground floor showcases channeled polished sandstone ashlar. The first floor is finished in droved ashlar on the principal (north) elevation, with coursed stugged sandstone on the side elevations (east and west) and coursed rubble at the rear. Polished ashlar dressings are present, along with a base course for the basement and ground floor on the principal elevation, a band course above the first floor, and an eaves cornice. The first-floor windows on the principal and side elevations are architraved.

On the principal (north) elevation, steps lead up to the central entrance of each block, which features flanking Greek Doric engaged columns supporting a plain entablature. Each entrance has a panelled timber door with a border-glazed rectangular fanlight above. Flanking windows are found on each floor, with an additional window above. There are basement entrances below, each with a 6-panel timber door. The left block also has a later 5-light boxed dormer with timber mullions.

The south elevation has largely regular fenestration, including polygonal dormers. The east elevation features steps leading up to an architraved entrance with a consoled cornice located to the right of centre, which has a panelled timber door. Stair windows are positioned at two separate levels above. Similarly, the west elevation has steps leading up to an architraved entrance with a consoled cornice to the left of centre, also with a panelled timber door and stair windows above.

The buildings mainly have 12-pane timber sash and case windows, with single-pane lower sashes on the principal elevation of the left block and 2-pane sashes on the ground floor of the right block. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there are coped corniced gablehead stacks on either side and one in the centre, each with round cans.

The interior was not inspected in 1998. The property features cast-iron railings with fleur-de-lys finials along the steps and street at the principal elevation, along with a pair of fluted pillars and decorative railings at the principal entrance to the left.
