Description
31-35 Newmarket Street in Ayr is an early 19th century, two-storey building with an attic, designed as a five-bay tenement featuring shopfronts at the ground level. The exterior is made of painted, coursed sandstone and includes a base course, a dentilled cornice above the shopfronts, and a cornice at the top. The first-floor windows have painted margins.
On the northwest elevation, which serves as the entrance, there is a central stop-chamfered doorpiece with a timber door. The ground floor has central entrances leading to the flanking shops, both of which have glazed timber doors. The first floor has regular window arrangements, and there are two piended dormers in the attic.
The building features four-pane timber sash and case windows on the first and attic floors. The roof is covered with grey slate and includes corniced stacks and circular cans. The interiors were not seen in 1998.
