Description
11 High Street in Ayr is an early 19th-century, three-storey building with an attic, featuring a three-bay tenement design and ground floor shops. The exterior is finished in painted ashlar and includes a cill course on the second floor, an eaves course, a cornice, and a blocking course. The windows on the first and second floors have architraves, with the first-floor windows having cornices and deep apron panels, while the second-floor panels are shallower.
On the northeast elevation, there is a recessed timber door with a letterbox fanlight at the center for No 13, flanked by shopfronts. To the left, there is a recessed aluminium glazed door for No 11, with a shop window to the right. The entrance to No 15 is also recessed to the left, featuring a glazed timber door. The first and second floors have regular fenestration, and there are dormers at the outer left and right sides of the attic.
The building has 12-pane timber sash and case windows on the first and second floors, and 16-pane windows in the attic. The roof is covered with grey slate, featuring stone skews, coped apex stacks, and circular cans. The interiors were not seen in 1998.
