Description

Early 19th century. 2-storey 3-bay tenement with shop at ground. Painted ashlar ground floor shopfront, roughcast walls above with droved ashlar dressings. Base course, band course and corniced cill course at 1st floor. Raised margins and projecting cills. Stop-chamfered entrance to common stair at outer right. Shopfront to left with roll-moulded surround containing large windows over ashlar stall risers with door recessed at centre, timber shopsign above.

SW (REAR) ELEVATION: roughcast, projecting apsidal stair tower with margined windows, containing concrete covered spiral stair.

Modern glazing at 1st floor, 12-pane timber sash and case windows at 2nd floor. Vertically-boarded timber pedestrian gate to common stair with slatted upper, modern shop door with border-glazed fanlight above. Grey slate roof with skew copes removed, modern slate-hung box dormer with plate glass and casement windows. Cast-iron gutters and downpipes. Roughcast, coped multi-flue apex stacks to gables with battered circular cans.

Statement of Interest

Loss of the original 1st floor windows, and the large box dormer are down-grading alterations to this building. It remains, however, an important part of the early 19th century fabric of the burgh, with its good shopfront and other surviving details.
