27, 28 Wellmeadow, Blairgowrie

27 and 28 Wellmeadow in Blairgowrie is a three-storey and attic, five-bay office building constructed before 1860, designed in an astylar Renaissance style with shops on the ground floor, forming part of an irregular terrace. The building features narrow ashlar bands, rusticated quoins, and ashlar dressings. Notable architectural elements include a frieze and cornice on the ground floor, a cill course on the second floor, an eaves cornice, and a blocking course. The ground floor has a keystoned, round-headed door and architraved openings, with tabbed margins on the second floor.

On the northeast (principal) elevation, the central bay at ground level showcases a consoled cornice above a keystoned moulded doorpiece, which leads to a panelled timber door topped with a deep two-part semicircular fanlight. There are display windows flanking this door, each with fielded pilasters, leading to a two-leaf panelled timber door and outer consoles to the cornice. The upper floors have regular fenestration, with slightly reduced openings on the second floor, and two pedimented dormer windows towards the outer bays, along with two modern rooflights.

The southwest (rear) elevation features a window on the first and second floors of a tall circular stair tower that breaks the eaves, located to the left of the centre. There is regular fenestration above ground in two bays to the right and a modern rooflight above.

The windows throughout have a four-pane glazing pattern, with plate glass in the dormer windows, all made of timber sash and case. The fixed timber display windows have a six-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with rusticated quoins and cans, as well as ashlar-coped skews.

Inside, there is a good decorative scheme, particularly in the shop at No 28, which includes a two-leaf part-glazed screen door and a two-part fanlight. A timber dog-leg staircase, likely installed in 1897, features decorative cast-iron balusters and leads to the first and second-floor offices, which boast decorative and moulded plasterwork cornices and ceiling roses, timber shutters, brass sash lifts, and timber fire surrounds with cast-iron grates. The turnpike stair is enhanced with ironwork balusters and a timber handrail. The shop at No 26 also has a part-glazed timber door and a two-part fanlight, with boarded timber walls and a moulded cornice.
