Conservative Club, 24 Sturrock Street, Kilmarnock

The Conservative Club, built in 1887 to a design by R S Ingram, is a two-storey, three-bay T-shaped Italianate meeting house with a later extension to the rear. It is constructed of cream sandstone ashlar with rusticated stonework on the ground floor and vermiculated window dressings to the ground floor. The sides and rear are of coursed rubble, with a later harled extension. A cill and lintel course runs along the front, topped by a frieze with simple roundels below a projecting eaves cornice.

The west (principal) elevation features a projecting porch with paired Roman Doric columns and a cornice, displaying the words "CONSERVATIVE CLUB" in blue lettering. This porch supports a first-floor balustraded balcony above the central bay. A recessed round-headed doorway is set behind pilasters with moulded reveals. Flanking the doorway are round-headed windows with projecting keystones and cills supporting a balustraded cill. Three projecting aedicule windows are present on the first floor; the central bay has a segmental pediment and balcony, while the flanking bays have outer corbels supporting balustraded cills with Roman Ionic columns and triangular pediments above.

The south elevation is regularly fenestrated over two bays, with a single-storey, flat-roofed extension masking the ground floor right bay. The east (rear) elevation displays a regularly fenestrated two-storey extension, with a former open passageway at ground floor level obscuring the original elevation. The north elevation also has a regularly fenestrated two-storey, two-bay elevation, largely hidden behind a large, two-leaf timber gate.

Most windows are timber sash and case, divided into four panes, with the upper two panes smaller and the lower two extended. The ground floor front windows are timber sash and case with three panes, featuring a single arch at the top and two extended panes below. The roof is piended and covered in modern tiles with matching ridge tiles. Concealed gutters are complemented by painted cast-iron rainwater goods. The building has brick stacks with projecting stone neck copes; a single can survives on the rear extension.

The interior, now used as a social club and offices, retains some original features, including cornicing, skirting boards, and a timber and glazing-panelled entrance door and surround leading to an inner hall.

A later boundary wall of coursed rock-faced ashlar with shaped copes runs along the front, while brick walls with sloped ashlar copes are situated to the sides.
