Description
234 High Street in Ayr is an early 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay tenement featuring a pend on the outer left side. The ground floor is finished in painted render, while the first floor is made of painted sandstone rubble. The building includes a base course, a second-floor cill course, an eaves course, and a cornice, with painted margins around the window openings.
On the southwest elevation, there is a square-headed close entrance to the left and a glazed timber entrance door to the right. The ground floor has two single windows, and the first floor features three single non-aligned windows, with the center window being blind. The windows are 12-pane timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate, has a stone skew, and includes a mutual rubble gablehead stack to the left, along with circular cans.
The interior was not seen in 1998.
