Description
30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 High Street in Crieff is a three-storey, three-bay restaurant with residential dwellings above, designed by Sir George Washington Browne in 1900. The building features red Dumfriesshire sandstone ashlar and is part of an irregular terrace. It has moulded cill courses, with the first-floor course having a continuous apron, and a decorated frieze beneath a dentilled and mutulated cornice. The façade includes stone transoms and mullions.
On the south elevation facing High Street, the bays are separated by pilasters with foliate capitals on the first floor and plain moulded capitals on the second floor. To the left, a tower features steps leading up to a two-leaf panelled timber door at the southwest angle, a six-light transomed window on the first floor, and a tripartite window above, all topped by a polygonal spired roof with a ball finial. The slightly projecting bays to the right have a six-light transomed depressed-arch keystoned window on the ground floor, with two transomed bipartite windows on each floor above, the second-floor windows breaking the eaves into shaped and finialled dormerheads. There is also a basket-arched doorway with a two-leaf panelled timber door below a glazed oculus in a narrow set-back bay on the outer left.
The ground floor window features a decorative astragalled leaded honeycomb glazing pattern, while the other windows are fitted with plate glass in timber sash and case frames. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are cavetto-cooped ashlar stacks with cans, ashlar-coped skews, and cast-iron downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers.
Inside, the building boasts decorative plasterwork and timber fireplaces. The former banking hall has a compartmentalised ceiling and timber panelling, with a classically-detailed overmantel and fire-surround retained. The second floor features a stone fireplace, while a decorative astragalled oval cupola crowns the dog-leg staircase, which is adorned with ironwork balusters and a timber handrail.
