57-59 High Street, Irvine

This late 18th century building at 57-59 High Street in Irvine is a two-storey, three-bay L-plan tenement situated on a corner site. It features an attic and a shop on the ground floor, with a harled exterior that has painted margins and quoin strips.

On the High Street elevation, the shop front spans the ground floor and includes a fascia and cornice. The first floor has three windows that are slightly irregularly spaced. A large wallhead dormer sits above, featuring two widely spaced windows and a curvilinear gablehead with a stack.

The Kirkgate side has a broad gable to the right, which is largely blank, with a window on each floor to the left and a broad gablehead stack. There is also a door and window, along with a first-floor window in a bay that projects to the rear on the outer left.

The rear elevation also has a broad gable to the right. The building has timber sash and case windows at the front, with six-pane casements on the side and rear. The roof is covered with graded grey slates and features raised skews. There is a narrow swept slate-hung dormer at the rear and a cast-iron rooflight at the front. The gablehead stacks are topped with red and cream terracotta cans.

The interior was not seen in 1996.
