This building, located at 157 High Street in Irvine, dates from around 1900 and is a two-storey, two-bay Edwardian Baroque office. It is constructed from red sandstone ashlar and features a cornice and parapet.

On the first floor, there is a lugged, architraved bipartite window to the left and a shallowly canted oriel window to the right, which has a panelled apron and is topped with a pediment that breaks into the parapet, stepped behind. The tympanum contains a shield, with billeted panels on either side.
