Description

78 Kirk Street in Strathaven is a building designed by architect Robert Thomson, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. It is styled as an asymmetrical Egyptian-Greek villa, reminiscent of the work of Alexander Thomson. The exterior features stugged and snecked masonry with polished dressings.

The entrance is located in a low porch on the left side. To the left, there is an advanced gabled bay that includes a ground floor window with three lights, framed by bold pilasters topped with simplified Egyptian capitals. Above, the first floor has a recessed bay with a four-light window, also detailed with pilasters. The eaves are deeply projecting, and the building has end stacks with decorative chimney pots. The roof is slate-covered. Inside, there is some plasterwork and a chimney piece.
