Description

The Kilmarnock Club, located at 3-9 John Finnie Street in Kilmarnock, was designed by James and Robert S Ingram in 1899 and has undergone later shop alterations. This is a two-storey, four-bay, restrained classical building situated on a triangular site, featuring shops on the ground floor and the Club on the first floor. The design includes wide canted corner bays, a base course, and modern shop fronts at ground level. The first floor has a band course, with rusticated pilasters framing the central two bays. An entablature, blocking course, and a central segmental pediment adorned with small urns and a carving of the Burgh Arms complete the façade. The building is constructed of red sandstone ashlar, with polished ashlar on the first floor of the main section and red brick on the elevations facing John Dickie Street and Dunlop Street.

On the east elevation facing John Finnie Street, there are modern shop fronts at ground level, with four single windows featuring architraves and cills on the first floor. The central two bays are framed by rusticated pilasters, with a date stone and a blind plaque positioned between them. The central segmental pediment has balustrading, with small urns crowning the ends of the balustrade. The tympanum of the pediment is carved with the Burgh Arms and the inscription 'The Club Kilmarnock'. The canted corner bays feature tripartite windows on the first floor, with single windows on both returns.

The south elevation facing John Dickie Street includes a converted door in the first bay at ground level, with a single window above it. There is a single window in the second bay, and a large tripartite window above. The third bay contains a group of three windows and a door at ground level, with a tripartite window above. The end bay has a single window, with another single window above it.

The north elevation, which serves as the Club entrance on Dunlop Street, is a five-bay façade. It features tripartite windows in the first bay at both ground and first floors. The Club entrance in the second bay consists of a central porch flanked by lights, framed by slim pilasters and a broad entablature, topped with a triangular pediment. Above this entrance are two single windows, and the third bay has tripartite windows at both levels. The end bays contain single windows.

The building has two-pane timber sash and case windows, with modern glazing in the shop fronts. The roof is slate. Inside, the Club features a complete Billiard Room interior.
