The Stevenson's Building is an important example, in a local context, of an early 19th century domestic building designed in the fashionable classical style, and located in a central position within the planned village of Burrelton. The building has a significant streetscape presence and retains early 19th century details to the exterior principal elevation.

The Stevenson's Building is a good surviving example of a domestic building of this period and its principal elevation represents the elevated status of its original owner in the early planned village. It is one of few remaining classically proportioned 2-storey townhouses in the village from the early 19th century and is of some pretention. The material quality of the building is notable for its stonework, as is the classical style of the principal street elevation, typically Scottish with the inclusion of the nepus gable.

The High Street of Burrelton was laid out as a planned town in 1812 by Peter Drummond-Burrell resulting from the need to rehouse crofters following the conversion of small crofts into larger farms. Drummond-Burrell provided feus at reduced rates and the uptake was rapid. Sources indicate that most feus were occupied and buildings erected by 1820.

Statutory address and listed building record revised in 2016. Previously listed as 'Burrelton, Stevenson's Building, High Street'.
