Description

6-10 Newmarket Street in Ayr is a later 18th century building that underwent alterations by Harry S McNair in 1948. It is a three-storey, three-bay corner block featuring shopfronts on the ground floor. The exterior is finished with painted harl and black Vitrolite at the ground level, with painted margins around the window openings on the first and second floors.

On the southeast elevation, there is a central timber door with a fanlight, flanked by shopfronts on the ground floor. To the left is a shop window, with an entrance leading to a shopfront on the right and another shop window on the outer right. The first and second floors have a regular arrangement of windows.

The northeast elevation, facing Hope Street, has two bays. It features a timber door on the outer right at ground level, a small square window to the right of center, and a shop window on the outer left. The first and second floors maintain a regular fenestration pattern, with a blind window on the outer left at the second floor. Decorative work is present beneath the skew on the outer left.

The building has two- and four-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof, stone skews, brick stacks, and circular cans. The interiors were not seen in 1998.
