Description
1 Hope Place in Dumfries is a late Classical corner block built around 1840. It is two stories high with a basement and constructed from droved red ashlar featuring polished dressings and architraves. The entrances and the curved corner are set in shallow recessed bays, with round-arched windows on the first floor. The ground floor has bipartite windows, while the Galloway Street side features a paired doorpiece, and the Terregles Street elevation has a single central door, all accessed by steps. The doors are panelled and topped with fanlights and consoled cornices. The building has sash windows with plate glass on the ground floor and an 8-pane glazing pattern on the first floor. There is a band course between the floors, a main cornice with stone brackets over the recessed bays, and a blocking course. A single modern dormer and corniced end stacks are present on the slate roof. The property is enclosed by a low boundary wall with cast-iron railings.
