Unfortunate modern shop front to left. String course between ground and 1st floor curved above pend. Date stone set in bold keystoned rectangular panel to centre between 1st and 2nd floors. Full-height bowed tripartite oriels flanking, corbelled at 1st floor, corniced at 1st floor, corbelld stepped bowed parapet breaking eaves.

Tenement block with shops built for J R Marten by T and J Low of
18 hamilton Street, Greenock. The surviving drawings in the Dean of Guild show that the original design for the shop fronts and decorative date stone differ from that finally executed. Also each bowed oriel was to have a steeply pitched concial roof rising behind the stepped parapet, it is not clear if these were ever built. The original dormers have unfortunately been replaced by a unsympathetic modern dormer to the street front.
