Description
50 High Street in Ayr is a three-storey, three-bay tenement building designed by Allan Stevenson in 1879, featuring Renaissance details and a ground floor shop. The exterior is made of polished red ashlar stone, with cill courses and a triglyph frieze at the cornice. The panelled parapet is adorned with a shield crest. The upper floors have architraved windows, with bracketed cills and a panelled apron on the central first-floor window. The flanking windows have scrolls and paterae on their panelled aprons, along with scrolled pediments. The second-floor windows also feature bracketed cills, with scrolled and swagged window heads.
On the southwest elevation, there is a recessed central entrance leading to a modern shop at ground level, which includes a modern glazed door and a letterbox fanlight, flanked by shop windows. To the outer right is a recessed boarded timber door. The first and second floors have regular fenestration.
The first and second floors are fitted with four-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and features a wallhead stack to the left, with corniced cans.
The interior was not seen in 1998.
