J B Macalpine, 52 Main Street, Doune

J B Macalpine is a two-storey and attic commercial building, originally a bakery, constructed around 1900 on a corner site at 52 Main Street in Doune. The exterior features red sandstone ashlar with mock-timber framing and harl above, along with timber mullions. The gableheads are adorned with bargeboarding, which is decorative on the main gable.

On the northeast elevation, the ground floor has three bays. To the outer left is a door leading to the residential accommodation, framed with an architrave and pulvinated frieze topped by a dentilled cornice within a stop-chamfered recess. This door has a plate glass fanlight above and a two-leaf panelled outer door, with a vestibule door that includes multi-pane glazing in the upper section. The central shop features a door and window connected by a continuous fanlight band of decorative leaded stained glass, with an encaustic tile step leading to a recessed entrance that reads "Elder," and a panel-glazed door. The shop is linked to the bakery, which has garage/loading doors to the right, framed by a roll-moulded surround and fascia, with two-leaf boarded and panelled garage doors. Above the ground floor is a dentilled frieze.

The first floor has two bays, with a bipartite window on the left and a tripartite window on the right. The attic features a large gabled wallhead dormer on the left with a bipartite window, and a smaller half-piend roofed tripartite dormer set back to the right.

On the west elevation, which faces Castle Hill, there is a blank gable to the left and recessed bays to the right, later filled with a single-storey lean-to addition and a flat-roofed, full-height stair block in the re-entrant angle. A small window orielled on a cavetto corbel is located to the right of the gable on the first floor. The recessed bays have bipartite and tripartite gabled dormers above.

A brick warehouse extends from the right corner, featuring a loading door on the return at the first floor. The building has timber sash and case windows, with multi-pane upper sashes and some two-pane lower sashes. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and the front block has crowstepped gables with scrolled brackets. There is a corniced stone stack on the east side with a pulvinated frieze, and a coped stone stack on the west gable, along with regular clay cans.

The interior was not seen in 1996.
