44-50 Kempock Street, Gourock

44-50 Kempock Street in Gourock is a three-storey, three-bay gabled tenement block built in 1884. It features shops on the ground floor and a terrace on the lower ground at the rear, with a raised storage basement below. The building is constructed from red sandstone with an ashlar front, while the rear and sides are made of squared and snecked stugged rubble. Notable architectural details include a continuous fascia and cornice above the shopfronts, a cill course at the second floor, roll-moulded arrises, overhanging eaves with exposed rafters, and coped skews.

On the south (front) elevation, the shopfronts have been altered, except for No 44, which retains a recessed doorway and plain slender columns. The central bay above features a gable with an apex stack decorated with shafts that rise from the cornice in the gablehead. The first floor has paired pedimented windows with bracketed eaves, while the second floor showcases paired round-arched windows set in a recessed, round-arched panel with a hoodmould. Flanking bays have semicircular, two-storey oriels that are corbelled above the ground floor, each with three windows per floor and conical roofs topped with finials.

The north (rear) elevation includes a single-storey terrace with three segmental-arched openings, one of which is now blocked and serves as a pedestrian entrance. There is a rectangular stairwell with a catslide roof above the central bays and paired stair windows featuring coloured border glazing. The tenement doors are flanked by single windows in the outer bays, and two-storey canted bays rise from the first floor, enclosed by balconies with decorative railings.

The building has some timber sash and case windows, mostly replaced with plate glass glazing, and the round-arched windows feature four-pane top sashes. The roof is covered with green slate and has coped apex stacks at the front and west gable. The interior was not seen in 1993.
