Description
1, 3, and 5 High Street in Montrose is a meeting hall built around 1820, featuring two storeys and an attic, with a three-bay layout and a shop on the ground floor. The front facade is finished with painted and lined render, while the rear is harled. There is a band course above the ground floor, an entablature with a deep eaves cornice, and a blocking course with a raised panel in the center, framed by plain margins.
On the west elevation, the ground floor includes a shopfront with a central door, a large stone-mullioned bipartite window to the left, and a single window to the right, all with plate glass. To the right of the shopfront, there is a pend. The first floor is symmetrical with three tall windows, likely from the inter-war period, and piended dormers rise from the pitch on both sides.
The south elevation is adjacent to 7-11 High Street. The north elevation features a gable end and a low two-storey building adjoining to the left. There is one window to the right on the ground floor and a small window in the gablehead.
The east elevation has two bays, with a pend on the left that includes windows on both the first and second floors. The staircase, which is harled and slated, has a doorway at the east end of the pend that rises diagonally across the elevation, providing access to the first floor. There is a window on the landing and another at the second floor above. A two-storey building extends to the right.
The windows on the east and in the dormers are timber sash and case, while the first-floor windows on the west are metal framed, multi-pane, and centre-hung. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there are stone-coped skews on the north side, along with a broad rendered gablehead stack. The interior was not seen in 1997.
