24-36 Buccleuch Street, Dumfries

24-36 Buccleuch Street in Dumfries is a department store built in 1897 by James Barbour. It features a free Renaissance style with a long, symmetrical façade. The building is mainly two storeys high, with a two-bay centre and single outer bays rising to three storeys. The design includes pedimented sections and canted first-floor windows, along with paired second-floor windows that have arched heads. The exterior is constructed from bull-faced red ashlar, accented with polished dressings on sculptured friezes and tympana. The wide central entrance is topped by a modern canopy, while other ground floor openings are large, square, and glazed, separated by plain piers. The upper windows are sash style, and there are wide dormers in the intermediate bays, which are set behind wall-head balustrades. The roofs are slated.
