7,9,11 High Street, Montrose

7, 9, and 11 High Street in Montrose is a classical tenement building, possibly designed by J Sim around 1890. It has three stories and an attic, featuring a three-bay layout. The front is finished in ashlar, while the rear is made of squared, snecked, and stugged sandstone. Notable architectural details include a cill band course and cornice at the first floor, a cornice above the first-floor window heads, a projecting eaves cornice, a parapet, pilaster ends, and architraved margins.

The west elevation, which is the principal facade, has an inter-war shopfront at ground level. This includes double doors and flanking windows that are set back, with advanced bays featuring plate glass and a cast metal frame. The shopfront has frosted and stained glass with leaded lights above the plate glass and in the ceiling pond at the center, along with a black polished granite stall riser, wall ends, and a deep fascia above. A flush-fitting canopy is present, and there is a doorway to the right with a rectangular fanlight that matches the Moderne design. On the first floor, there is a central pilastered window with a panelled head featuring a palmette and a consoled cornice above. Flanking this are stone-mullioned bipartite windows with consoled cornices and elaborate scroll consoles that include a triglyph and a miniature decorated pediment at the junction of the first-floor cill cornice and pilaster ends. The polished granite facing of the shopfront abuts this section. The second floor features a central pilastered round-arched window with a consoled cill and keystone, topped with a consoled pediment that leads into the parapet. Flanking this are stone-mullioned bipartite windows with rounded margins at the heads. The attic storey has a prominent central nepus gable with a pilastered window at the center, which has a segmental pediment above and a decorated tympanum. Twin stacks above are square and panelled, with a deep corniced entablature linking them and curvilinear feet to the gable. Flanking the gable are canted piended dormers.

The north elevation adjoins 1-5 High Street, while the south elevation adjoins 13 High Street. The east elevation has irregular fenestration with plain margins and features a single-storey building abutting at ground level. It has four bays at the second floor and canted piended dormers on the left and right.

The building has timber sash and case windows above the ground floor, with plate glass on the ground floor. The roof is covered in grey slate, with broad corniced gablehead stacks on the north and south sides.

The interior was not seen in 1997.
