Description
219 High Street in Ayr is a three-storey and attic, four-bay Edwardian Freestyle tenement building designed by William Kerr in 1894. The exterior is finished in polished red ashlar, featuring slightly bowed outer bays and central bays that are also slightly bowed at the band course dividing the first and second floors. The building has moulded cill and eaves courses, as well as a cornice. Pilasters frame the windows in the outer bowed bays on the first and second floors, while banded rustication frames the second-floor windows, which rise above the attic windows to create finialled gables. There are tripartite keystoned lunettes in the attic.
On the northeast elevation, there is an off-centre square-headed close known as Climie's Close at ground level, flanked by modern shopfronts. To the outer right, there is a modern single glazed door to a shop, with a window to the left. To the outer left, there is a modern glazed door to another shop, featuring a letterbox fanlight and a shop window to the right. The first and second floors have tripartite windows flanking two single central windows, while the attic features tripartite lunettes flanking two central dormers.
The upper sashes of the timber sash and case windows are predominantly two-pane. The roof is a grey slate mansard with coped stacks and circular cans. The interiors were not seen in 1998.
