Description
109 and 111 High Street in Forres is a building possibly designed by John Paterson from Edinburgh around 1820. It stands three storeys tall and features five bays. The exterior is made of ashlar stone with rock-faced rustication on the ground floor. The central segmental arched pend is flanked by original shopfronts, each with a central door set in a round-arched recess. The upper floor windows are architraved, with the first-floor windows being taller than those on the second. The building has rusticated quoins, a cornice, and a blocking course, along with coped end stacks and a slated roof. At the rear, there is a close that is roofed over with corrugated iron.
Inside, the entrance leads through a cobbled pend to a cantilevered stone staircase adorned with cast-iron balusters featuring palmette decoration. The front and side first-floor rooms are connected by an L-plan passage that includes a small circular angle closet with a curved door. Throughout the interior, there are reeded panelled dados, beaded panelled window shutters and doors, and decorative plaster cornices. Some alterations have been made to the rear rooms for shop use, and the former ground floor kitchens and stables have been converted into storage spaces.
