Co-Op Buildings, 6 Dunkeld Street, The Square, Aberfeldy

The Co-Op Buildings, located at 6 Dunkeld Street in The Square, Aberfeldy, were built in 1881, with an additional range added in 1898. This three-storey, three-bay tenement features a shop on the ground floor and a polygonal corner tower, forming part of an irregular terrace. The structure is made of squared chlorite-slate rubble, accented with contrasting sandstone ashlar dressings. It has a cornice at the ground floor and corniced windows on the first floor, with stone transoms and mullions, as well as chamfered arrises.

On the west elevation facing The Square, the ground floor includes a shop front with three display windows and flanking stone piers at the center, along with three additional display windows to the right, where the outer window has been altered to a modern door. All these windows are divided by cast-iron columns. To the left, there is another display window with a broad stone pier beyond. The elevation features a full-width frieze and cornice. The first floor has tripartite windows in the center and right, and a bipartite window to the left. The second floor includes a tripartite window in the center and a bipartite window to the left, both with piend-roofed dormerheads that break the eaves, while the bay to the right has a further bipartite window in the gablehead. The lower bay to the outer right has a modern door at ground level and a pedimented tripartite window on the first floor.

The northwest elevation, which features the corner tower, has steps leading up to a two-leaf panelled timber door with a deep infilled fanlight. There is a single window on each floor above and a decoratively finialled polygonal tower.

On the north elevation facing Dunkeld Street, the bay to the right has two display windows with dividing cast-iron columns on the ground floor, two windows on the first floor, and a bipartite window in the gablehead above. The 1898 block to the left has a central shop door to the right and another shop with an in-canted door to the left. This section features a corniced frieze that transitions to three bipartite windows on each floor above, with the center second-floor window also transomed. The second floor is jettied, and the center bay is slightly advanced, showcasing a relief-carved panel in the gablehead that bears a coat of arms and the inscription 'WR 1898 AWR'.

The distinctive glazing pattern includes vertical two-pane upper sashes over horizontal two-pane lower sashes on the west and northwest elevations, while the north elevation features plate glass glazing, all set within timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with some cans. The eaves are overhanging, adorned with decorative bargeboarding and braces.
