Salvation Army Citadel, 6 New Street, Ayr

The Salvation Army Citadel, located at 6 New Street in Ayr, was designed by Arthur Hamilton of John Hamilton & Son from Glasgow in 1905. This building is a two-storey structure with an attic and features four bays, constructed from coursed red sandstone with a base course.

On the northwest elevation, which serves as the entrance, there are steps leading up to a pilastered entrance on the right, topped with a broken segmental pediment. The entrance includes a timber door and a small single window to the right, with a bipartite window located on the first floor. The central area features two tripartite windows at the ground floor, separated by a buttress that has a roll-moulded detail at its apex. Above this, the frieze displays Art Nouveau typography that reads "The Salvation Army Citadel." The attic is adorned with two four-light dormers, and there is an advanced bay to the outer left with a single window at ground level, which is aligned above by a tripartite window that rises through the roofline. The moulded parapet has a depressed central section.

The building predominantly has eight-pane timber windows and is topped with a grey slate roof, which features ridge and wallhead coped stacks and circular cans. The interior was not seen in 1998.
