39-43 High Street, Blairgowrie

39-43 High Street in Blairgowrie is a small tenement building dating from the later to late 19th century. It is three storeys tall with a cellar and features three bays, housing a shop on the ground floor. The building is part of an irregular terrace and is constructed with narrow bands of stugged squared rubble, accented with ashlar dressings, and has harled sections with stone cills at the rear. Architectural details include a ground floor frieze and cornice, a cill course on the second floor, and an eaves course. The southeast elevation has architraved windows.

The southeast elevation facing High Street is symmetrical. At the centre, there is a panelled timber door with a plate glass fanlight, flanked by stop-chamfered pilasters. This door is surrounded by additional doors, with the right door being part-glazed and the left converted into a fixed display window, both featuring plate glass fanlights and narrow pilasters. The outer bays each have fixed display windows, full-width toplights, and outer ashlar piers. Above, there are three windows on each floor, with a large kilted figure located between the first and second bays on the first floor.

The northwest rear elevation displays a variety of elements with asymmetrical fenestration, including a stair window at the centre. The northwest side features timber sash and case windows with plate glass glazing, while the southeast side has modern timber windows and coloured margins on the stair window. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there is an ashlar stack raised in brick with cans, along with a square-section cast-iron downpipe and rainwater hopper.

Inside, the shop at No 39 retains a good decorative scheme, including boarded timber walls, original fitments, and interior glazing for the display window. The basement has full-width part-glazed timber shutters on chain pulleys. A winding cantilevered staircase with decorative cast-iron balusters leads to the middle flat, which features decorative plasterwork cornicing.

At the rear, there is a semicircular-coped rubble boundary wall.
