Description
22-28 Alloway Street in Ayr is a three-storey, five-bay section of a department store designed by Allan Stevenson in 1910. The building features polished red ashlar stone and includes a marble shop fascia, an eaves course, a cornice, and a balustrade with round-arched balusters. Pilasters divide the bays and rise to form corniced dies within the balustrade, which has scroll moulding on the outer bays and decorative composite capitals.
The entrance elevation has a central recessed entrance at the ground floor with four glazed doors and shop windows on either side. There is a recessed two-leaf timber door to the outer left. The central bay is canted, and iron plaques are positioned above the first and second-floor windows, with a date of 1910 above the second-floor window. This bay rises to form a scrolled key-blocked pediment, featuring an iron-railed niche in the tympanum and a decorative block-pediment above. The first floor has regular tripartite windows, while the second floor has two casement windows in the two flanking bays, with scrolled brackets supporting iron balconies at this level.
The ground floor has shop windows, while the upper floors feature single-paned windows. The roof is not visible, but it includes a corniced gablehead stack and circular cans. The interior was not seen in 1998.
