Description
131-137 High Street in Irvine is an earlier 19th-century, two-storey, four-bay tenement building that features shops on the ground floor. The front is made of ashlar stone, while the rear is constructed from whinstone. Above the shops, there is a cornice, along with a cornice and blocking course, and the windows are framed with architraves.
The tenement door is located in the bay to the left of the centre and has a deep plate glass fanlight with a console above the cornice. To the right of the door is a modern shopfront, and there are square windows flanking the door on the left. The central bays have single windows, while the outer bays contain stone mullioned tripartite windows. On the left and right sides, there are canted dormers that are slate-hung and piend-roofed.
The rear elevation consists of five bays and features a rectangular stair tower that projects at the centre, with windows and additional windows in the flanking bays. There are also bipartite piend-roofed dormers.
The building has timber sash and case windows with a four-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates and includes rooflights. There is a broad ashlar gablehead stack with a full complement of cans.
