Description
124 and 126 High Street in Ayr is an early 19th-century, three-storey and attic tenement building with a modern shopfront on the ground floor. The structure is made of coursed, squared sandstone and features a cill course on the second floor, a cornice, and a blocking course. The windows on the first and second floors have architraved margins.
On the west elevation, the entrance to the shopfront at No 124 is centrally located on the left, featuring a two-leaf glazed door with a letterbox fanlight and flanking shop windows. To the right is a boarded timber door for No 126. The upper floors have regular window arrangements, including a double-width box dormer in the attic.
The upper floors are fitted with plate glass and timber sash and case windows, with four-pane and twelve-pane configurations. The roof is covered with grey slate, including the slated dormer, and features stone skews and a shared brick stack on the left with circular cans.
The interior was not seen in 1998.
