Description
77 Hanover Street in Stranraer is a two-storey tenement block built in 1902, featuring a basement at the rear and an attic. The building has a distinctive three-bay design with a bowed corner bay and shops on the tall ground floor. It is finished in render with ashlar dressings, a base course, and a mutulated cornice on the north elevation. The first floor showcases segmental arched, mullioned windows, while the attic windows are supported by small brackets and break the eaves to create gables on the north elevation.
On the north (entrance) elevation, there is a recessed shop entrance to the right of the center, featuring a timber and glass door with a fanlight, flanked by shop windows. To the left of the center is a modern door and shop window. A corniced timber fascia separates the ground and first floors. The first and attic floors have regular fenestration, with a semicircular pediment above the central window on the first floor and a recessed window in a round-arched moulding at the attic, also with a pediment. The outer right features the bowed corner bay with a two-bay bowed shop window on the ground floor and regular windows above. The year "1902" is inscribed between the first and attic floors. A square tower rises from the attic, topped with a French pavilion roof that has a mutulated cornice and brattishing.
The west (side) elevation includes the bowed corner bay on the outer left, with two single windows at the first floor to the left and a single window in the central bay at ground level. There are single windows at the first and attic floors, which are irregularly aligned. A timber entrance door with a fanlight is located on the outer right, accompanied by more single windows at the first and attic floors.
The shop windows on the ground floor are made of plate glass, while the upper floors feature timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered in grey slate and includes a coped stack with circular cans.
The interior was not seen in 1997.
