Surgery, 33 Castle Street, Dumfries

27 Castle Street in Dumfries is a terrace of seven houses, likely designed by Robert Burn of Edinburgh, with the street layout also attributed to him. The terrace was mostly constructed between 1820 and 1830, although numbers 25 and 27 were built by 1819. The buildings are two storeys high with attics and feature cast-iron-railed basements. They are all made of droved ashlar, which is painted except for number 37. Architectural details include pilastered doorpieces, round-arched doorways, panelled doors with fanlights, and sash windows, some of which have a 12-pane glazing pattern. There are band courses between the floors, a string course at the ground floor cill level, a cornice, and a blocking course. Each house has a single dormer, mostly canted, with straight skews and end stacks, topped by a slate roof. Some good interior work from the original construction still remains.
