Description
This building is a museum located at 4 Glasgow Vennel in Irvine. It dates from the late 18th century and underwent restoration in the late 20th century. The structure is a single-storey, three-bay cottage made of rubble with rendered margins, an eaves course, and a cornice.
At the center, there is a round-arched door with a keystone, impost blocks, and a decorative semicircular fanlight, flanked by widely spaced windows. The entrance features two-leaf boarded doors. To the left, there is a two-light piend-roofed dormer that is slate-hung.
The windows are timber sash and case, with small panes over two-pane sashes. The roof, covered in grey slate, includes flush rooflights and has rendered gablehead stacks.
