Description

18 South Main Street in Wigtown is an early 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay house constructed of painted rubble with raised margins. It features a Roman-Doric columned doorpiece, a cornice, and a blocking course. There are single windows on either side of the doorpiece, and to the far left, there is a pend door with a fanlight above it. The first floor has three single windows. The roof is covered with grey slates and has sandstone end skews, block skewputts, and coped chimney stacks. In 1990, the original windows and doors were replaced with non-traditional alternatives.
