This does not appear to have been successful as it was demolished, just eight years later, in 1575, and replaced by the present three-stage tower, which was built in harled stone and erected slightly to the south of the original structure, in 1576.

[6] Andrew St Clair, 12th Lord Sinclair, whose seat was at Dysart House, commissioned improvements to the tower in 1743.

[6] By the early 1880s, the Victoria Street extension had become very dilapidated, and the burgh leaders decided to replace it with a new town house.

The new building was designed by Campbell Douglas and James Sellars in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone and was completed in 1888.

A major programme of refurbishment works, financed by Fife Council, the National Heritage Lottery Fund and Historic Scotland, started on site at a ceremony attended by the Member of the Scottish Parliament, Marilyn Livingstone, in April 2009.
