30-38 Newmarket Street, Ayr

30-38 Newmarket Street in Ayr is a two-storey, nine-bay classical style building designed by James I McDerment in 1869. The exterior is finished in polished ashlar and features a cill course, an elaborate modillion cornice, and a quatrefoil balustrade. The windows are lugged architraved.

On the southeast elevation, there are steps leading to a central entrance that has a cavetto-splayed round arch with a head keystone. The entrance is adorned with an elaborate double-consoled cornice, small pendant heads on the lower consoles, and a large head on the upper consoles. The entrance consists of two-leaf timber doors topped with a letterbox fanlight. Above this, there is a bipartite window aligned at the first floor.

Flanking the entrance are two modern shops on either side. The shop to the outer right has an aluminium glazed door, a letterbox fanlight, and a shop window, while the shop to the outer left features a central entrance with a two-leaf timber door and flanking shop windows. The first floor has regular single window fenestration, with four-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof, which was not visible in 1998, has coped stacks and polygonal cans. The interiors were also not seen in 1998.
