Description

Deuchars Buildings, located at 8, 10, and 12 South Street in Perth, date from the mid 18th century and have undergone later alterations. This three-storey and attic, six-bay corner tenement features a ground floor with a consoled and pilastered fascia, and it includes a particularly rare 18th century bow fronted shop window on the far right. The building is constructed of rendered ashlar with raised margins, and it has a base course and a stringcourse on the east elevation (Speygate). There is a tall wallhead gable stack on the east side and a partially crowstepped gable on the south elevation, along with piended dormers.

The windows are timber sash and case with 12-pane glazing. The roof is covered with grey slate, and it features coped skews. Some of the stacks have been rebuilt in brick, and there are clay cans and cast-iron rainwater goods.
