Description
12-16 George Street in Ayr is a mid-19th century, two-storey terrace comprising two tenements, one with four bays and the other with three bays. The building is constructed of painted sandstone and features a dividing storey band course, an eaves course, a cornice, and a blocking course. The first-floor windows are adorned with architraves.
On the northwest elevation, which serves as the entrance, there is a central timber door with a letterbox fanlight above it, located in the three-bay section to the right. This section also has flanking shopfronts, while the four-bay section to the right contains three shopfronts at ground level. The first floor has a regular arrangement of windows.
The building has lying-pane and modern windows, a grey slate roof, stone skews, and corniced gablehead and ridge stacks, along with polygonal cans. The interiors were not seen in 1998.
