Description
10-12 Kirk Port is an early 19th-century, three-storey, three-bay tenement building that features a ground floor shop facing Kirk Port. The exterior is finished with painted harl and includes a cornice and painted strip quoins, with painted margins around the openings.
The north elevation, which faces Kirk Port, has three bays. The central entrance leads to the ground floor shop and is topped with a consoled cornice, featuring a two-leaf timber door. There are three single windows on the first floor, with a blind window to the right, and a single, non-aligned window to the left on the second floor.
On the west elevation, there is a forestair leading to the central entrance at the first floor, which has a timber door with a letterbox fanlight. Flanking windows are present at both the first and second floors, with the window on the right at the second floor being non-aligned.
The building features 12-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof, stone skews, gablehead stacks, and circular cans. The interior was not seen in 1998.
