Bank, 35-37 High Street, Inverkeithing

The building at 35-37 High Street in Inverkeithing is a bank designed by John Ross McKay in 1934. It is a two-storey and attic structure with a rectangular plan, featuring five bays. The exterior is made of diagonally droved ashlar, specifically Cullaloe stone, with a channelled finish at the ground floor and closely set joints on the first floor. The building has a base course, corniced string and eaves courses, moulded window margins, and doorways. It also features channelled pilastered quoins and an engaged Roman Doric colonnade, along with box dormers.

On the principal elevation, there are four central engaged Roman Doric columns with three plate glass windows positioned between them. The outer bays have moulded doorways with two-leaf timber panelled doors. The first floor has five evenly spaced windows, and there are two bipartite box dormers with slate cheeks and timber cornices.

The northeast elevation adjoins Nos 33 and 31 High Street, while the rear elevation is four bays wide, with the left-hand bay recessed for the stairwell. There is a central two-bay flat-roof extension at the ground floor, which includes a doorway on the left and a window on the right, along with a small flat-roof shed on the far right. The first floor has four windows, with the leftmost window being lower. There is a single window located between the first and attic floors on the far left, and a corniced bipartite box dormer is situated off-centre to the right, with a roof-light to the left.

The south elevation adjoins Nos 39 and 41 High Street. The building features 12-pane timber sash and case windows with horns on the east side, and a 6-pane timber sash and case window on the dormers and secondary windows at the rear. The roof is pitched and covered with Ballachulish slates, complemented by stepped ashlar stacks and circular clay cans.

Inside, the bank has weathered oak panelling, a decorative fireplace, and a stone chimneypiece in the telling room. There is a late 20th-century teller's desk with glazing extending to the ceiling, and the manager's office at the rear is also oak panelled to dado level.
