Description
127-129 High Street in Irvine is a mid to later 19th-century tenement building that stands three stories tall and features three bays. The ground floor has a modern shopfront and appears to have been raised from an original two-story structure. The building has an ashlar front with rubble whinstone sides and rear. It includes dividing cornices, rusticated masonry on the second floor, and a modillioned cornice.
On the first floor, there are shoulder-arched windows flanked by panelled pilasters, with an architrave above. The rear elevation has two bays, featuring a tall, round-arched stair window on the right, a border-glazed window on each floor to the left, and cast-iron rooflights.
The windows are timber sash and case, with plate glass on the front and four-pane windows at the rear. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are ashlar skews and gablehead stacks.
