49-57 (Odd Nos) King Street, Crieff

This is a 1907 building located in Crieff. It is a tall, three-story shop and tenement designed with Queen Anne detailing. The construction incorporates narrow bands of red bull-faced ashlar, contrasted with polished ashlar dressings and cill courses. A prominent feature is the three-stage, domed, and corbelled corner tower, which includes an aedicule (a decorative architectural surround) with a mutuled cornice (a cornice with regularly spaced indentations), a round-arched window, and a wrought-ironwork balcony. The windows facing King Street have architraved, keystoned, and corniced segmental heads.

The south (tower) elevation displays a canted entrance stage with a recessed modern shop door. Above this is a rounded second stage, featuring an aediculed window containing the monogram ‘CH’ within its tympanum (the triangular space above the window). The third stage has two smaller windows, a deep frieze, and a finialled lead dome.

The southeast (King Street) elevation showcases a broad gabled bay with a three-part fixed display window, margined fanlight, and fascia board on the ground floor. The first floor has three closely aligned windows, and the second floor includes a bipartite window to the left, paired with a plain square-headed window to the right. A tablet in the gablehead is inscribed with the letters 'W', 'M', and the year '1907'. To the right of this is a narrower bay with a small round-headed window set behind a decorative cast-iron grille at ground level and a wide-centre canted oriel window on the first floor, which gives way to a large corbelled rainwater hopper. A blank bay exists on the second floor. The right side of the elevation features two broad, asymmetrically-fenestrated bays, with a modern shop front on the ground floor's left side and a corbelled canted window that breaks the eaves into a deep blocking course on the first and second floors at its outer right. A dominant wallhead stack is centrally positioned.

The southwest (Commissioner Street) elevation on the ground floor contains a two-part fixed display window with a fanlight and fascia, as previously described. Upstairs is a French window with flanking lights within a balconied, round-headed window, and a single window close to the eaves on the first floor.

The windows throughout are timber sash and case, with 6-pane over plate glass and small-pane glazing patterns. The oriel window has leaded multi-pane glazing, and the southwest side has a small-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered in grey slates. The chimneys are constructed of cavetto-coped ashlar with cans, and the ashlar-coped skews have block steps. Decorative cast-iron downpipes incorporate a rainwater hopper.

The building at 57-61 Commissioner Street has two stories and an attic. It includes a deep-set panelled timber door with a plate glass fanlight, a shop with a fixed display window, margined fanlight, and a two-leaf panelled timber door, and another shop with a modern display window and door, all beneath a continuous fascia and cornice. Two canted oriel windows are on the first floor, with piended swept-roof bipartite dormers above. This section similarly utilizes small-pane over 2-pane and plate glass glazing patterns in timber sash and case windows, grey slates, a coped ashlar stack, and ashlar-coped skews with moulded skewputts.
