Description
The Printing Works at 10 Grange Place in Kilmarnock is a former printing office built in the later 19th century, with some alterations made since. It is a two-storey and attic building with a classical design, featuring 14 bays and a V-plan layout that fits into a gushet site. The structure has a channelled base course, and the ground floor is divided by Ionic pilasters with half fluted shafts. The entrance, located in the fourth bay from the right, is emphasized with a round-arched doorway. The first floor has round-arched windows, also divided by Ionic pilasters, and a string course runs along the building. The frieze above the entrance is carved with the words "Kilmarnock Standard Printing Office," and there are eaves and blocking courses above. The building is constructed from red Ballochmyle sandstone ashlar.
On the principal (north) elevation, the 14-bay façade features a doorway in the fourth bay from the right, which includes a round-arched doorway with a figure-head keystone. This doorway is flanked by Ionic pilasters that support a broad entablature, topped with a scrolled pediment and an eagle. Slender lights are positioned on either side of the doorway, with ovals above them that contain masks of William Caxton and Johannes Gutenberg along with their monographs. The first floor has a regular pattern of round-arched windows, and there are modern roof lights in the attic.
The northeast corner elevation showcases a round-arched architraved doorway with a mask of William Shakespeare as the keystone, and there is an oriel window above this entrance.
The south (rear) elevation is made of brick and is divided by five projecting strips. The ground floor has an irregular pattern of fenestration and doors, while the first floor features 14 single windows. There are also modern roof lights in the attic, and a roof balcony is present in the fourth and fifth bays from the left.
