Description
52-56 Barnton Street in Stirling is a four-storey corner tenement building dating from 1881, featuring shops on the ground floor. The exterior is made of polished cream sandstone ashlar. It has a cornice above the shopfronts and cill courses for the first, second, and third-floor windows. The first and second-floor windows are adorned with moulded architraves and cornices, and there is a deep cornice at the top.
The west elevation, which serves as the entrance, has three bays. The first-floor windows have consoled cornices, with single windows in the central bay and the outer left bay, while the outer right bay features bipartite windows on all floors. The northwest angle bay has a full-height, three-light canted bay window topped with a cast-iron finial on its polygonal roof.
The north elevation consists of two bays, with single windows on all floors in both bays. The first-floor windows have consoled cornices, and there is a pediment with a ball finial at the parapet.
The windows are predominantly plate glass and timber sash and case, with some modern pivot windows. The roof is covered in grey slate, and there are rendered and coped wallhead stacks on the north side, along with a coursed ridge stack on the south side. The interior was not seen in 1995.
