Description

210 King Street and 32 St Andrew Street is a two-storey tenement building, built between 1934 and 1935 by W F Valentine. It has a roughly square plan and is located on a prominent corner site in the heart of Castle Douglas. The building features a tall, five-stage octagonal clock tower at the corner, topped with an ogee dome supported by thin Doric columns. The exterior is made of coursed granite with polished red sandstone ashlar dressings, including a base course, deep cornices over fascias and at the eaves, a parapet, bracketed eaves cornice on the tower, and long and short quoins and window margins. The first-floor flats have stone-mullioned windows.

The northeast and southeast elevations have shops with original plate glass shop fronts, leaded-light strips above, glazed timber doors, and black and white tiled steps. There is a tripartite window above on the northeast elevation and two bipartite windows above on the southeast elevation. The clock tower is slightly recessed between the shops at the corner, featuring a half-glazed timber-panelled door at ground level and narrow lights at various stages. The top stage of the clock tower has octagonal clock faces with Roman numerals, and the leaded ogee dome is supported by pairs of Doric columns, topped with a weather-vane finial.

The building has timber sash and case windows, with plate glass in the lower sashes and small-pane glazing in the upper sashes. It also features rendered stacks with yellow clay cans and a slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles.
