Description
The building at 11, 13, and 15 High Glencairn Street in Kilmarnock is possibly designed by J & RS Ingram and dates from around 1895 to 1896. It is a two-storey structure with two and four bays, featuring a goods entrance and residential accommodation. The principal elevation is constructed of coursed red Ballochmyle ashlar, while the rest of the building is made of semi-harled rubble and yellow brick. It has base, lintel, sill, and eaves courses, with plain skews and shaped kneeler putts.
On the east (principal) elevation, there are paired stone steps leading to an architraved door surround. This features cyma reversa brackets that support a moulded cornice and lintel, with an ornate fretwork panel above and a shouldered fanlight over a panelled door. To the left, there is a high moulded door surround with a cornice and a pair of timber planked doors. To the right, there is a later shop window and a two-leaf door flanked by pilasters. The first floor has a bipartite window to the left with a moulded surround and stone transom, a stepped hoodmould with fretwork shoulders, and squared label-stops enclosing a raised pyramidal plaque. To the right, there is a corbelled three-light canted bay window with a splayed eaves roof. There is a matching canted attic dormer to the right that follows the lines of the lower bay, supported by arched brackets and topped with a finial. The left side has a timber gabled attic dormer with a bipartite window, and both dormers have slated cheeks.
The south elevation features a blind harled gable end adjoining a lower two-storey property. The west (rear) elevation was not seen as of 2001. The north elevation also has a blind harled gable end adjoining another lower two-storey property at 5 and 7 High Glencairn Street.
The building has two-pane timber sash and case windows with horns on the upper sashes. The plate glass semi-opaque shouldered fanlight is emblazoned with "GLEN ROSA." The roof is covered with grey slate and features piended roofs for the attic dormers, with the right dormer having a splayed eaves and an ornate wrought-iron finial. Painted cast-iron rainwater goods are attached to the eaves and band course. There is a slightly lowered yellow brick stack with replacement cans on the south gable and a taller yellow brick stack on the north gable with an ashlar neck cope and three plain cans.
The interior includes a vestibule with a glazed panelled door, but the rest of the house was not seen as of 2001.
