Description
The Douglas Arms Hotel, located at 11, 13, and 15 St Andrew Street in Castle Douglas, is an early 19th-century building that has undergone later 19th-century alterations. This two-storey terrace of houses sits on a corner site at the junction of King Street and St Andrew Street, now functioning as a single hotel.
On St Andrew Street, the building features three and four bays, while on King Street, there are two sets of three-bay houses. The exterior is smooth rendered with raised painted margins. The left part on St Andrew Street has three bays and includes a central Roman Doric porch. The ground floor windows here have been enlarged into bipartites, while the first-floor windows consist of single lights, all of which are sash and case with plate glass glazing.
On King Street, the two three-bay houses have an extreme left bay with a tripartite window on the ground floor and a canted timber oriel on the first floor. Most ground floor windows have been enlarged, while many first-floor windows retain their original proportions. The windows are also sash and case, featuring either plate-glass or small pane glazing. The building has coped axial stacks, slate roofs, and some skews at the party walls, with a piended roof at the angle.
