Description

The Dunlop Hotel, located on Main Street in Dunlop, dates back to around 1817, with later additions including a section at 19 Main Street from around 1860. This building is a two-storey, three-bay house, featuring a likely later bowed corner, a Doric pilastered doorpiece, and a slightly lower two-storey addition at 19 Main Street, which has a prominent shouldered wallhead stack. The exterior is made of painted, squared, coursed, stugged sandstone with sandstone ashlar dressings, and includes an eaves course, cornice, quoin strips, raised window margins, and projecting cills.

On Stewarton Road, there is a two-leaf timber panelled front door with a dentilled lintel beneath a cross-glazed fanlight, along with a Doric pilastered doorpiece featuring a cornice and blocking course. The fenestration is regular across three bays, with a probably later bowed corner to the northeast that has a corniced window at ground level and a plainer window above. The north side elevation has windows on both the ground and first floors, along with a wallhead stack. The south elevation features a gable with a gablehead stack, a later 20th-century addition at ground level, and further additions to the rear.

The addition at 19 Main Street, from around 1860, is a three-bay, two-storey structure with a central window at ground level and a lozenge panel above, along with doorways in the outer bays, although the door to the left bay is blocked. There are two windows on the first floor and a central shouldered wallhead stack.

The building predominantly features 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, with lying-pane glazing on the first floor of 19 Main Street. It has corniced stacks and decorative yellow clay cans at 19 Main Street, ashlar-coped skews, graded grey slate roofing, and cast-iron rainwater goods.
