45 And 47 Commissioner Street, Crieff

The building at 60 and 62 King Street, Crieff, dates from 1889 and 1912, and is a tall, three-storey shop and tenement with a prominent three-stage conical-roofed corner tower. It is constructed of red bull-faced ashlar with red sandstone dressings, featuring a shop cornice and eaves course. Windows have tabbed architraves with stylised keystones, stone mullions, and stop-chamfered arrises.

The west (corner) elevation demonstrates a doorpiece to the ground floor with marble columns and moulded capitals on ashlar dies, flanking a decorative ironwork gate and part-glazed timber doors inscribed with 'COMRIE' and 'BUTCHER', set on a mosaic-tiled step. Above the doorpiece sits a decorative keystone, leading to a fluted corbel and a four-light bowed bay with pilaster-effect dividing mullions to each floor. The bay is topped by a corniced conical tower with a decorative cast-iron finial.

The north-west (King Street) elevation has bays to the right of centre featuring fixed display windows over decorative metal grilles with dividing colonettes and ashlar pilasters. A single window is positioned on each floor above, with a stone pediment bearing a shield dated 1890 above the eaves on the second floor. Two further shops are located to the left, with doors at the centre and fixed display windows on the outer sides. A bipartite window sits on the first and second floors within a panel-effect bay with moulded keystones. A full-height canted window is present in the bay to the left, marked with a dividing band dated '1912'.

The south-west (Commissioner Street) elevation features bays to the left at ground floor with fixed display windows as previously described. A panelled timber door with decorative grilles to the centre panels and a deep fanlight is situated in the penultimate bay to the right, while a further panelled timber door with deep plate glass fanlight is located to the outer right, with a fluted pilaster beyond. A broad gabled bay extends over the display windows, with a single window to each floor, supported by a dividing corbel course and incorporating an arrowslit in the gablehead with a shouldered stack. A four-part oriel window extends to the second floor over the outer bays, with a blocking course above.

The windows are largely plate glass in timber sash and case frames, though some modern glazing is present to the King Street centre and left bays above ground level. The roof is covered in grey slates. The building has banded coped ashlar stacks, some with cans, and ashlar-coped skews with block skewputts. Cast-iron downpipes feature decorative rainwater hoppers.

Inside, the former butcher's shop retains banded glazed ceramic tiles, including tile pictures of animals, and stone shelving.
