Description

A. Brunton Tailors' Shop and Manufacturers is a late 19th-century building with later additions and alterations, located on Main Street in Allanton. It is a two-storey, four-bay structure with significant projections to the rear and an outbuilding, forming a terminating terrace to the south. The building features stugged squared and snecked sandstone with droved ashlar dressings, and the northern elevation is harl-pointed with roughly squared and snecked sandstone. It has a base course, slightly raised long and short quoins, and raised polished ashlar margins.

On the west elevation facing the street, there is a pilastered and corniced doorpiece in the inner left bay, which includes a panelled door and a plate glass rectangular fanlight. The inner right bay has an advanced tripartite window at ground level with a cornice and blocking course. There is a two-leaf boarded door leading to a carriage pend-entrance in the outer right bay. The outer left bay features a pilastraded and corniced shop door and window, consisting of a two-leaf panelled door with a plate glass rectangular fanlight to the left and a fixed-pane shop window to the right. Each bay on the first floor has a window, with a bipartite window in the inner right bay.

The northern elevation incorporates the house end and includes a full-height addition as well as a single-storey addition. The eastern elevation, not seen in 1996, features a full-height addition to the outer right and another single-storey addition.

The building has plate glass timber sash and case windows and a slate roof with sawtooth ashlar coped skews and scroll-bracketed skewputts. The rear displays a vertical strip glazing pattern, and there are two flue brick coped gablehead stacks on the north and south sides, as well as on the gablehead of the full-height projection to the rear.

The interior was not seen in 1996. There is an outbuilding located to the northeast, which is a single-storey structure with a slate roof.
