Description

The Corsewall Arms Hotel, located at 24 Main Street in Kirkcolm, is a mid-19th century building that originally consisted of three former two- and three-storey, three-bay houses arranged in a terrace. The exterior is made of painted rubble with painted raised margins.

The east elevation facing Main Street features a three-storey structure with the second floor breaking the eaves on the left side. There is a central door, and the ground and first floors have regularly spaced windows, including a two-light window in the right bay on the ground floor. The outer bays on the first floor have windows with gabled dormerheads. The two-storey houses in the center and to the right consist of six bays, with a door located to the left of the left bay and a vehicular pend in the right bay. Each bay has regularly disposed fenestration on both the ground and first floors, with two-light windows in two bays to the left of center on the ground floor.

The south elevation has a window on the right at the second floor, which is above the adjoining lower building, No. 22 Main Street, known as Stewarton House. The north elevation is adjoined to a slightly lower building, No. 26 Main Street.

The building features some four-pane glazing in sash and case windows, along with some modern glazing. It has red sandstone coped skews, painted brick gablehead stacks located between the center and right houses, and is covered with small grey slates and octagonal cans.
