Description

116 and 118 High Street in Ayr is a three-storey, three-bay Edwardian Renaissance corner building designed by J K Hunter in 1905. The exterior features polished red ashlar stone and has a modern shopfront at ground level. The ground floor has a cornice, with a mutulated cornice that is interrupted by a central bay, which rises to form a segmental pediment with a stack to the left. The cornice is also broken at the outer left and right by pillars that rise to pedestals topped with urns. Sculpted apron panels connect the windows vertically between the first and second floors.

On the west elevation, there is a central entrance to the shop at ground level, which has modern glazed doors and letterbox fanlights, flanked by shop windows. The outer left features a canted pillar. The first and second floors have single windows in the off-centre middle bay, with a keystoned window at the second floor, while the flanking bowed bays have tripartite windows.

The north elevation, known as Kirk Port, has six bays. It features two timber doors in the lower height section to the outer left and a timber door in the higher section to the left, along with a single window at the first floor and a bipartite window at the second floor. The three bays to the right have single windows at both the first and second floors, with a continuous cornice extending from the west elevation, except for the bipartite windows in the left bay. There is also a shop window at ground level on the outer right.

The building has timber sash and case windows, with six panes in the upper sashes and predominantly four panes on the north elevation. The roof is covered with grey slate and features wallhead stacks with circular cans. The interior was not seen in 1998.
