Description
109 Victoria Street in Stromness is a mid-19th century building that has undergone later alterations and additions. It is a two-storey and attic rectangular-plan row of three cottages. The layout includes a shop at the gabled eastern end (No 113), a two-bay cottage in the center (No 111), and a single-bay cottage to the west (No 109). The building is situated on rising ground to the west and features modern dry-dash render with cement cills, as well as concrete-rendered and lined margins on the shop front.
The eastern elevation facing Victoria Street has a single bay gabled design. It includes a shop window with a recessed doorway to the right that spans the ground level, a window to the left on the first floor, an attic window above, and a gablehead stack.
The northern entrance elevation has a grouping of bays in a 3-1 arrangement. The three-bay group on the left (No 111) features a doorpiece with an architrave and cornice in the center bay, a deep-set part-glazed modern door with a letterbox fanlight, and a window above on the first floor. There is also a window in the left bay on the first floor and a ground-level window in the right bay. The single bay group on the right (No 109) has a deep-set, two-leaf part-glazed timber panelled door to the left and a window above on the first floor.
The southern rear elevation has a grouping of bays in a 1-3 arrangement. The three-bay group on the right includes two closely spaced small windows at ground level and three unevenly spaced windows on the first floor. There are piended dormers on the outer left and right. The single bay group on the left has a single window set in the center.
The building predominantly features two-pane timber sash and case windows. It has a grey slate roof with a stone ridge, a rooflight between the dormers on the southern pitch, cement skews, harled and coped gablehead and ridge stacks, and uPVC rainwater goods, along with some cast-iron downpipes on the southern side.
