Description

23-25 High Street in Ayr is an early 19th-century, three-storey, three-bay tenement that features a ground floor shop. The building is constructed of painted ashlar and includes a cill course on the second floor, an eaves course, a cornice, and a blocking course. The first and second floor windows have architraves, with a continuous apron panel for the first floor windows that is shallower for the second floor.

On the northeast elevation, there are entrances with altered fanlights flanking a central shop window. The shopfront is original and has a consoled design, topped with a mutule cornice. There is a mutual close to the outer right leading to No 21, with Nos 17-19 nearby. The first and second floors have regular fenestration, and the central first floor window features a consoled cornice.

The first and second floors have modern 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there are stone skews, coped apex stacks, and circular cans. The interior was not seen in 1998.
