43 Titchfield Street, Kilmarnock

43 Titchfield Street in Kilmarnock was designed by Gabriel Andrew & Son in 1914. This three-storey, three-bay, L-plan building served as a former Battalion headquarters and features castellated elements, including crow-stepped gables and a squared, battlemented tower at the northeast corner. It is located on a corner site at the north end of a row of tenement buildings. The front section is made of bull-faced red Ballochmyle sandstone with ashlar dressings, while the rear section is constructed of red brick. The building has a deep, battered base course. The second and third storeys of the east (front) elevation outer bays have projecting, battlemented, squared bays with tripartite windows.

The east elevation features a central architraved doorway with a part-glazed timber panelled door and a fanlight above, flanked by wide, round-arched window openings with moulded architraves. Most of the windows have been replaced with non-traditional designs. The roof is piended and covered with grey slate, and there are cast iron rainwater goods.

The interior of the ground floor was partially observed in 2015. It is currently a restaurant, and no notable architectural features were identified.
