Description
The building at 11, 13, 15 High Street in Blairgowrie, originally a photographic artist's studio, dates from the late 19th century. It is a two-storey and attic, two-bay flatted dwelling featuring a shop on the ground floor and a distinctive three-stage conical-roofed corner tower, which completes an irregular terrace. The exterior is finished in stugged ashlar with ashlar margins, and includes a cornice, base, band, and eaves courses on the ground floor. A roll-moulded doorway and stone mullions add to its architectural detail.
On the southeast elevation facing High Street, there is a two-part fixed display window to the left of the center, flanked by pilasters, with a modern shop to the right. Above, two bipartite windows are adorned with decorative cast-iron brattishing at the eaves, and there is a set-back, finial-topped polygonal-roofed canted dormer window to the right.
The south corner elevation features a round tower with a two-leaf panelled timber door at the canted first stage, which jetties out above to rounded second and third stages, each containing a window and topped with a corniced and finialled conical roof.
On the southwest elevation, there is a gabled bay to the right of center, with windows to the left on both the ground and first floors, as well as a small attic window in the gablehead. Further to the left, there is another window on the ground floor. The outer left features an advanced gable with a slated porch to the right, a pointed-arch window, and a door on the return to the right. Additionally, there is a panelled timber door with a plate glass fanlight below the window in the re-entrant angle to the right.
The windows are primarily two-pane upper sashes over plate glass, with plate glass glazing patterns in timber sash and case windows, and some windows on the south side feature curved glass. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped harled stacks with a full complement of cans.
The property is enclosed by semicircular-coped rubble boundary walls.
