Description
112 High Street in Ayr is a mid-19th century, two-storey, five-bay classical corner building featuring Jacobean motifs. The exterior is finished in polished ashlar with coursed stugged rubble on the south elevation. It has a dentilled cornice above the shopfronts, a cill course at the first floor, a triglyph Doric frieze, a mutuled cornice, and a pierced parapet with high panelled and corniced dies. The first-floor windows are architraved.
On the west elevation, there are central entrances leading to two modern shopfronts at the ground floor, each with two-leaf glazed modern doors flanked by shop windows. The first floor has regular fenestration.
The south elevation, known as Kirk Port, has five bays. The outer left bay forms a curved angle returning from the west elevation, featuring a shop window at the ground floor and a single window at the first floor. The remaining four bays are of lower height, each with single windows at both the ground and first floors, except for a steps leading to a corniced and pilastered doorpiece at the ground floor on the outer right.
The building has four-pane timber sash and case windows and a grey slate roof. The interiors were not seen in 1998.
