85 and 87 High Street in Elgin is a building dating from around 1870. It features a three-storey and attic structure with a symmetrical facade that has seven bays arranged in a 2-3-2 pattern. The ground floor has three modern shop fronts, separated by narrow flat-headed entrances leading to pends. The first and second floors are constructed of coursed tooled ashlar, with polished ashlar dressings.

The three central bays are set in a shallow recess, featuring square stilted-headed windows on the first floor, while the outer two bays have bipartite windows with central colonettes. A string course is raised above the window heads. The second floor has round-headed windows, also with bipartites in the outer two bays, linked at the springing level by a string course.

Flat pilasters mark the party walls, topped with simply corbelled capitals and gabletted dies above the cornice. The building has a bracketed eaves cornice, a blocking course, and six piended dormers with cast-iron finials. Corniced ridge stacks and a slate roof complete the design. Additionally, number 85 has a three-storey single bay wing at the rear.
