Description
61-63 High Street in Ayr is a three-storey, three-bay tenement built in the Flemish Renaissance style, dated 1895, featuring a ground floor shop. The exterior is finished in polished ashlar, with pilaster strips marking the bays, which are banded on the outer left and right. The first and second floors have tripartite windows.
On the entrance elevation, there is a modern shop front to the outer right, which includes a modern glazed door, a letterbox fanlight, and modern shopfront windows in the center and to the left bay. The fascia frieze features an inner pilaster design with a crossed key motif, and the outer pilasters display the numbers 61 and 63. The second floor window has Ionic column mullions and is complemented by a bowed balustraded balcony. Above, there is a blind tripartite tympanum, bas relief cherub spandrels, and scrolls adorning the corniced stepped gable, topped with a finial at the straight skewed centre apex.
The first and second floors are fitted with plate glass timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slate, and corniced stacks rise from the inner pilaster strips, featuring circular cans.
The interior was not seen in 1998.
