Description
7 Church Place in Dumfries is a building dated 1895, designed in the Flemish Renaissance style. It stands three storeys tall with attics and features a symmetrical angle frontage. The exterior is constructed of red ashlar and adorned with sculptured ornamentation.
On the ground floor, there are two wide shop windows with original woodwork, flanked by a central doorway framed by four pilasters with foliated capitals. This doorway is topped by an entablature that includes shop fascias and a segmental pediment, which is broken by a central cartouche above the doorway.
The first floor showcases an arcade of five semi-elliptical arches with keyblocks, which are glazed as triple light transomed windows. The second floor features a central corbelled oriel that rises into a three-tier central turret topped with a consoled copper cupola. The flanking second-floor windows are bipartite and supported by square baluster shafts, with a sculptured apron frieze beneath them.
Above, Flemish gables are present, each with two-light windows that have colonnettes, scroll supports, and low-rise scrolled pediments. The building is finished with corniced end stacks and a slate roof.
