Description
239-241 High Street in Ayr is a four-storey, two-bay Edwardian Renaissance tenement block built in 1904 by William Cowie, featuring commercial premises on the ground floor. The building is constructed of polished red ashlar and includes decorative elements such as a modillion cornice for both the shopfront and the main structure. To the left, there is a canted bay with a pediment, pilaster strips, and cartouches framing the third-floor windows. The second-floor window on the left has a segmental pediment and is adorned with architraves and a sculpted apron.
On the entrance elevation, there is a central entrance leading to a modern shopfront on the left, which includes a modern glazed door and a letterbox fanlight. To the right, there is a square-headed close. The fenestration is regular, featuring tripartite windows on all floors of the left bay, bipartite windows on the first and second floors of the right bay, and a tripartite window on the third floor.
The building has timber sash and case windows, with four- and six-pane upper sashes. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there are stone skews, brick gablehead stacks, and circular cans. The interior was not seen in 1998.
