Description
237 High Street in Ayr is a four-storey, three-bay Edwardian Baroque tenement building, designed by J and H V Eaglesham in 1904. The building features polished red ashlar with banded rustication at the first floor. It has a modillioned cornice above the shopfront, which also has a modillion shopfront cornice, and a balustraded parapet with rectangular dies. The outer bays are framed by a giant Doric pilaster order, with shields on the entablature blocks above, including one inscribed with "1904" on the right. The second floor windows have architraves and keystones, along with consoled iron balconies. The central second floor window features a consoled broken pediment, while the central third floor window has a double architrave with scrolled ends and a keystone.
On the entrance elevation, there is a modern shopfront to the left with a glazed timber door and sidelight. The windows to the right are part of Nos 225-231, and there is a square-headed close to the outer left. The upper floors have regular fenestration, with plate glass timber sash and case windows at the first floor and six-pane upper sashes at the second and third floors. The roof is covered with grey slate and features a brick stack. The interior was not seen in 1998.
