Description
146 High Street in Ayr is a three-storey, three-bay Renaissance tenement built around 1884, featuring a modern shopfront on the ground floor. The building is constructed of polished grey ashlar. Notable architectural details include a cornice above the shopfront, rusticated stonework on the first floor, a moulded cill course at the second floor, a pulvinated frieze, a dentilled cornice, and a segmental pediment that is interrupted by a segmentally pedimented aedicule.
On the southwest elevation, the entrance to the shop is located on the outer right, featuring a two-leaf modern door with a letterbox fanlight above it, along with a shop window to the left. The first and second floors have regular window arrangements, with cornices and segmental pediments above the first-floor windows. The windows on the first and second floors are framed with lugged architraves.
The upper floors feature timber sash and case windows with 9-pane and 12-pane upper sashes. There is a wallhead stack located at the rear of the building. The interior was not seen in 1998.
