Description
13 and 15 James Street in Blairgowrie is a two-storey, three-bay house built in 1832, forming part of an irregular terrace. The property includes a rectangular-plan cottage at the rear. Number 15 features a modern bull-faced stucco finish and harl, while Number 13A has squared rubble with raised ashlar margins.
For Number 15, the southwest (principal) elevation is symmetrical, showcasing a castellated pilaster doorpiece at the center with a modern door, flanked by windows in the side bays and larger windows on the first floor. The southeast elevation has a gabled design with a window to the left on the first floor and a small circular opening off-center to the right. The northwest elevation mirrors this but includes a single-storey building adjoining it. The northeast (rear) elevation displays a variety of elements with an asymmetrical arrangement of windows, including a jettied lean-to bay at the center of the first floor. The property has out-of-character PVCu glazing, grey slates, coped brick and harl stacks, ashlar-coped stepped skews with block skewputts, and a cast-iron downpipe with a decorative rainwater hopper.
For Number 13A, the southwest (principal) elevation features a bay to the right of center with steps and flanking ironwork railings leading to a panelled timber door. There is a window in the bay to the right and two additional windows to the left. The windows are timber sash and case with a plate glass glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar and brick stacks with cans, along with deeply overhanging eaves at the gable ends.
