Galvelmore House, 5 Galvelmore Street, Crieff

Galvelmore House, located at 5 Galvelmore Street in Crieff, is a tall, partly three-storey house, originally built as a two-storey structure in the mid-19th century, with alterations made to the rear around 1900. The house features a three-bay gabled design, constructed from squared and snecked rubble, with ashlar quoin strips and raised margins, and stone mullions.

The east elevation is symmetrical, with the central bay at ground level showcasing a corniced, pilastered, and concave-moulded doorcase that frames a deep-set panelled timber door and a plate glass fanlight. Flanking this are flat-roofed canted windows adorned with brattishing. The first floor has regular fenestration, and above the low central bay, there is a small corbelled cornice. The outer bays feature round-headed bipartite windows set within finialled gableheads, and there are corbelled corniced skewputt details.

The west elevation has been extended to include a two-storey and attic section with a raised basement that projects. This elevation displays a variety of elements, including a canted bay that has been altered to incorporate a central projection, a stair window, and two piended canted dormers.

The north elevation is largely blank, featuring a gabled bay with a lean-to boarded timber porch on an ashlar base. This porch has multi-pane leaded glazing in three windows and similarly glazed upper panels on the timber door to the left return.

The south elevation is asymmetrically fenestrated and includes a small brick extension to the right of the centre. The windows throughout the house are timber sash and case, featuring 4-, 12-pane, and plate glass glazing patterns. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks topped with polygonal cans. The eaves overhang with plain bargeboarding, and decorative cast-iron finials enhance the overall appearance.

Inside, the house has plain cornices and timber fireplaces. The ground floor sitting room features later timber panels and a gothic stone fireplace. A timber dog-leg staircase with barley-twist balusters and carved newels leads to the upper floors, along with a second staircase that has decorative cast-iron balusters.

The property is enclosed by semicircular-coped rubble boundary walls, which include a carved panel on the north wall stating, "This garden wall is erected on the property of Thomas McComish 1812."
