Black Horse Hotel, 68 Queen Street, Newton Stewart

The Black Horse Hotel, located at 68 Queen Street in Newton Stewart, dates from the mid to later 19th century. This two-storey, five-bay hotel is situated at the end of a terrace and was originally two properties, arranged in a grouping of two and three. It features a projection that connects to coach and stable facilities at right angles to the rear. The building is rendered with contrasting painted dressings and a base course.

On the Queen Street elevation, the left side has two bays, with a door on the right flanked by a blocked door and a window to the left. The right side has three bays, with a centrally located door flanked by windows. The first floor has regularly spaced windows, and there are three canted, piend-roofed dormers from the late 19th century.

The rear elevation includes a single-storey lean-to rubble projection at the ground level in the centre and right, and a gabled two-storey projection to the left, featuring enlarged windows. The gabled coach and stable block is made of painted rubble and has a segmental carriage arch to the left, with hayloft openings above. There is a pedestrian door at the centre and a square-headed cart opening to the right, along with two gabled dormer-headed windows above. The windows are fitted with plate glass glazing in sash and case style, while the enlarged windows at the rear have four-pane and modern glazing. The roof is covered with grey slates, graded to the rear, and there are gablehead stacks. The front features decorative cast-iron gutter brackets.
