75, 77 John Finnie Street, Kilmarnock

This is a three-storey, four-bay shop building with tenement apartments, constructed between 1894 and 1895. It is an example of Glasgow-style architecture and also incorporates a vehicular pend. The building is constructed of coursed red Ballochmyle sandstone ashlar, with polished ashlar dressings to the bay windows and entrances. Features include a string course, sill bands, an eaves cornice, and skew gables with moulded skewputts.

The east (principal) elevation displays the original shop front to the central and right-hand bays. A recessed entrance is flanked by Corinthian banded shafts. Original retractable wrought-iron guard rails lead to a funnelled entrance with a bipartite timber door surround, featuring a central pilaster holding a scrolled foliate pediment and topped by a pair of square windows. The shop windows flank this entrance. An architraved door surround with a scrolled pediment and a rectangular fanlight sits to the left, leading to a high, two-leaf timber panelled door. Vehicular access is located to the extreme left. A painted timber ovolo fascia runs the length of the building, bearing the name "CABINETMAKERS: GEORGE TANNAHILL & SONS: UPHOLSTERERS" in gold lettering. The first and second floors are symmetrical, with semi-corbelled, two-storey canted bay windows with chamfered arrises in the first and fourth bays, topped by an eaves cornice supporting triangular pediments over the central lights of the second floor. The window surrounds to the first and second floors of the first bay have lugged architraves and scrolled pediments. Similar window surrounds are present on the second floor. The south elevation features a whitewashed gable end with "TANNAHILL" painted in red diagonally. The west (rear) elevation was not visible in 2001. The north elevation adjoins a three-storey Post Office (listed separately). It includes a gable end.

The windows are timber sash and case, with plate glass lower panes. The upper sashes incorporate stained glass of a square quarry pattern, with stained glass margins and a central design. Plate glass shop windows flank a recessed two-pane glazed door. Fanlights are of a nine-pane fixed timber design, and main windows have glazed margins to the sides and top. The roof is piended and covered in grey slate, with metal ridging, flashing, and valleys. Painted cast-iron rainwater goods are present, and the gutters are concealed within the cornice. Decorative rectangular hoppers are also incorporated. Stacks are missing from the gables.

The ground floor remains in use as a furniture retailer, retaining many original features including timber shop fittings, skirting boards, plaster cornicing, and timber and plaster columns supporting an open-plan shop. The residential accommodation above was not inspected in 2001.
