Description

105-109 High Street in Dumfries is a three-storey Neo-Tudor tenement building with attics, designed by architect Walter Newall between 1827 and 1828. The building has a basement that slopes down to Bank Street, where the left bay is open at the basement and supported by a chamfered monolith, with a close entry behind it. The High Street façade features shops and includes a single bay in a curved corner. The exterior is finished in painted ashlar and has hood-moulds, with mostly single sash windows, some of which are small-paned. The High Street side has three bays, with the second and third bays located under a wall-head gable that has shaped skews and flanking octagonal flues. The outer wall-head gables face Bank Street, with the right gable also featuring flanking flues. The building includes cill bands and is topped with slate roofs.
