Skyline Hotel, 119, 121, 123 Irish Street, Dumfries

The Skyline Hotel, located at 119, 121, and 123 Irish Street in Dumfries, dates from the mid-18th century and has undergone significant alterations in the 19th century. This long building is set back from the road and currently operates as a hotel.

Originally, it comprised two adjoining single-storey houses over a basement, each featuring five bays and steps leading to a central door. There were square pavilions at both the northern and southern ends, although the southern pavilion has been removed, and the northern pavilion is now part of a different property at 133 and 135 Irish Street. The original structures are primarily constructed of brick, with a moulded base course and chamfered ashlar margins, some areas rendered and all painted.

The house closest to the south has been significantly altered, raised by a storey, and now consists of three bays with a projecting ground floor bay. The central door and the door enclosing the forestair on the southern gable are both round-headed and pedimented, featuring large, richly sculptured consoles. The main cornice continues to the right over the pavilion, which has a pyramidal roof. The end stacks are present, and the roofs are slated. The rear elevation has also been altered.
