Description
The Station Hotel, located at 1 Dovemount Place, was built in 1871 and is a two-storey building with an attic, featuring a symmetrical, gabled design and a platform roof. It showcases Free Scots Renaissance and Baronial architectural styles. The exterior is constructed from tooled, squared, coursed yellow sandstone with polished ashlar dressings, while the right section of the side elevation is painted. The building has a base course and an eaves cornice on the main elevation, with quoin strips and painted margins on the ground floor of the principal elevation. The side elevation has raised cills.
The entrance features two stone steps leading to a central six-panel timber door with a fanlight, set within a round-arched architrave. This door is flanked by Doric pilasters that support an advanced gabled bay above. The first floor has a deeply recessed window with a shouldered architrave, flanked by pilasters and a round-arched margin. The gable has twinned, octagonal stacks. The outer bays have slightly advanced windows with cornices at the ground floor, and there are gabled dormers that break the eaves cornice.
On the right side elevation, there are four bays, with two stone steps leading to a recessed door with a rectangular fanlight on the outer right. This section features projecting, corbelled stacks flanking a bipartite window in the gable. The left part of the side elevation is asymmetric and two-storey, with a broad, two-leaf timber-boarded door to the courtyard on the left, and two steps leading to a timber-boarded door at the center. Three evenly spaced gabled dormers break the eaves in this section.
The building predominantly features timber sash and case windows, with plate glass on the principal elevation and four-pane glazing on the side. The roof is covered with grey slate and has metal ridges, with moulded, ashlar-coped skews and scrolled skewputts. The chimney stacks are made of ashlar and brick, and cast-iron rainwater goods with hoppers dated 1871 are present on the principal elevation.
