Description
75 High Street in Ayr is a baronial tenement building designed by Allan Stevenson in 1886. It is three stories tall and has two bays, featuring a corbelled corner bay and a rectangular plan with crowstepped gables. The exterior is made of squared, snecked, and stugged beige sandstone, with corbelling and crenellated links to the gables, as well as water spouts.
On the entrance elevation, the corbelled corner bay is located on the outer left. The second floor has single windows on all faces, with strapwork above them, and square-headed finials at the gablehead. The ground floor has a modern shopfront, with an entrance to the left that includes a glazed timber door and a letterbox fanlight, while shop windows are situated to the right. The gabled bay on the outer right features single windows on the first and second floors, with a hoodmould over the first-floor window and a plaque beneath it. The second-floor window has brackets, a cornice, and strapwork. There is also a bipartite window on the first floor of the bay to the left, with strapwork above and a square plaque aligned above it on the second floor.
The Newmarket Street elevation has two gabled bays, with the right bay being asymmetrical and a corbelled corner bay on the outer right. The ground floor features modern shopfront windows. On the first floor, there is a bipartite window with a pedimented windowhead on the outer left, and a single hoodmoulded window aligned above it on the second floor, along with a square plaque on the gablehead dated AD 1886. A corbelled canopy niche containing a statue of William Wallace is located to the right on the first floor, with a small round-arched window to the left and a single hoodmoulded window aligned above it on the second floor. Additionally, there is a two-light canted oriel window to the left of the corbelled corner bay on the first floor.
The upper floors feature plate glass timber sash and case windows, except for a four-pane window in the corbelled corner bay on the second floor. The roof is covered with grey slate and includes gablehead stacks and circular cans.
The interior was not seen in 1998.
