Description

34 High Street in Dunbar is an L-plan house built between 1788 and 1791 by Alexander Ponton. It has three storeys and a basement in the rear wing. The front is made of squared and coursed sandstone, while the rear and sides are constructed from random rubble. The building features droved plain ashlar margins and an ashlar band course above the basement, along with an eaves cornice and a rendered south gable. The roofs are slate, with gable head stacks. The windows have a 12-pane glazing pattern, which becomes smaller on the third floor.

The entrance elevation is symmetrical with five bays. It includes an early 19th-century Roman Doric porch that projects onto High Street and features a dentil cornice. The entrance has a panelled door and a plate glass fanlight, with a segmental arch over the coach entrance on the north side.

The west wing consists of four bays across the three northern bays of the High Street block, with a door located in the first return bay. The west end gable has two windows facing south, while the north elevation features a random arrangement of windows along a passage.

Inside, some original chimneypieces remain, along with some Edwardian insertions.
