A Son of the Rock

When I pass through Leven I usually don’t go via the town itself but use the A915 which only goes through the upper part. Last time though I went via the A955 and consequently viewed not only the War Memorial but also two Art Deco style buildings.

The larger of these is in Durie Street, just off the town centre, and once housed a Co-operative store, built in 1937.

The stepping on the roofline, the “brows,” the windows, the horizontals and verticals, and the slight protrusion of the vertical windows flanking the centre ones are all deco features.

This is the upper frontage:-

And here’s a close-up on the frieze above the central windows:-

The trianguloid protrusions flanking the centre portion look like this:-

Further out from the town centre on Scoonie road is the Agenda pub.

This one shows the deco detailing:-
