Robert Burns House, 24 Burns Street, Dumfries

Robert Burns House, located at 24 Burns Street in Dumfries, was likely built in the third quarter of the 18th century. This is the house where Robert Burns lived from 1793 until his death in 1796. The house was renovated by M Purdon Smith in 1935 and features two storeys with a near-symmetrical design, consisting of three bays, a central door, and two ground floor windows in the left bay. The exterior is made of red sandstone rubble, with the render removed by Smith, and has ashlar margins; the south gable is now harled. There is an intermittent contrasting boulder rubble base course. The house has small-paned sash windows throughout, straight skews, end stacks, and a slate roof. The interior is plain, featuring stone stairs and simple chimney pieces.
