Description

14 High Street in Dingwall is a two-storey commercial building designed by William Cumming Joass and dated 1901. It features a tall, narrow, and symmetrical Edwardian-Renaissance style with a Dutch-gable façade facing High Street. The shopfront is distinguished by its curved glazed corner angles and is constructed from pale and pink sandstone ashlar.

The shop has a projecting double front with a recessed entrance at the center, which includes mosaic tiles displaying the number 14 in the lobby. The entrance features a timber and glazed panel door topped with a glazed fanlight. Flanking the entrance are timber-framed plate-glass windows that curve at the outer angles. Above, there is a moulded timber cornice that is also rounded at the corners.

On the first floor, a large tripartite window is topped with a carved hood-mould above the lintel, and there is a blind roundel with keystones situated above it. The shaped gable has scrolled shoulders and is topped with three urn finials.

To the rear, there is a long range that extends southward, primarily built of red brick that incorporates earlier rubble fabric. The southernmost section is harled and features a later 20th-century shopfront on the gable end, along with four windows on the first floor.

The building has timber-framed fixed-glaze windows and a grey slate roof. The west elevation includes a polychromatic brick wallhead stack with octagonal clay cans, while the north side has a stugged ashlar stack. Cast-iron rainwater goods are also present.

Inside, some early 20th-century fixtures and fittings remain in the principal retail area, including a timber counter, shelves, drawers, and a staircase with a timber balustrade.
