Description

6-14 John Finnie Street in Kilmarnock is a two-storey building, originally opened in March 1875, designed by J & RS Ingram with builder Andrew Calderwood and joiner James Rome. The structure features a symmetrical range of nine bays, with Italian Renaissance details, constructed from polished red sandstone ashlar with a channelled ground floor. It has a blocking course and cornice.

The principal elevation showcases a three-bay central entrance, highlighted by a paired, engaged Roman Doric doorpiece, with a door to the left and a window to the right. Above, on the first floor, there are three elaborately detailed arched windows, flanked by paired Corinthian pilasters and inner engaged columns, adorned with floreate spandrels and a mask keystone. The windows have apron panels beneath, except for the central window, which features a blind balustrade. The central bays are capped with a mutule cornice, and the blocking course projects over the pilasters.

In bays one to three, there is a modern shop facade that is now boarded up, with three regularly placed bays on the first floor, each with bracketed cornices and apron panels, the central bay topped with a triangular pediment. Bays seven to nine also have a modern shop facade on the ground floor, which is boarded up, along with a boarded-up door in the ninth bay. The first floor mirrors the earlier arrangement with three regularly placed bays, again featuring bracketed cornices and apron panels, with the central bay topped by a triangular pediment.

The rear elevation is U-shaped, constructed from coursed rubble for the rear of the facade and side walls. Unfortunately, the glazing and roofing plans have been lost due to a fire at the end of the 20th century, and the interior no longer exists following the same fire.
