Recessed centre bays slightly lower with full-width tiled porch on square-section, fluted pillars and Japanese-style railings on ashlar walls; moulded doorways with 2-leaf part-glazed timber doors. 2 bipartite windows to 1st floor and centre stack above closely flanked by original, small, pitch-roofed bipartite dormer windows.

E ELEVATION: ground floor obscured. Windows to centre and left at 1st floor, and 2 wallhead stacks.

N ELEVATION: symmetrical fenestration; flat-roofed extension projecting to left at No 73.

Multi-pane glazing pattern to upper sashes over 2-pane lower in timber sash and case windows throughout. Red tiles. Coped and battered ashlar stacks with cans and ashlar-coped skews with gablet skewputts and stone finials. Cast-iron downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers and fixings.

Statement of Interest

Possibly by Swanston & Legge who built a number of similarly detailed houses in Kirkcaldy, a particularly fine example being the 1898 terrace at Nos 69-81 Milton Road (listed separately); or by James Gillespie & Scott with battered stacks and unusual glazing pattern echoing 14 & 16 Hepburn Gardens, St Andrews. No 73 is the manse for Pathhead Parish Church.
