Description

61 High Street in Dunblane is a mid-19th century building that features a mix of single and two-storey elements, arranged in a rectangular plan. The exterior is constructed from harled rubble with sandstone ashlar detailing, including projecting margins, quoins, coped skews, an eaves course, and projecting cills on the windows.

The principal elevation faces east and is predominantly single-storey. It has a central panelled timber door with a 2-pane letterbox fanlight, flanked by engaged Doric columns that support a projecting entablature and a parapet that breaks the eaves. The roof slopes to the right, and there is a large 8-pane window to the right of the door. To the left, a slightly advanced gable features two windows.

The rear elevation, facing west, is two-storey with a corniced door at the centre, and a window above it. There are additional windows on the ground and first floors to the left, and a gabled bay to the right with stone mullioned bipartite windows.

The north side elevation is obscured by an adjacent boundary wall, while the south side elevation is two-storey and has a regular six-bay arrangement, except for a doorway in the third bay from the right, which is flanked by irregularly shaped windows.

The windows throughout the building are predominantly plate glass, timber-framed, sash and case types. The roof is covered with grey slates and features lead flashing, coped gable stacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, the building contains offices, although these were not seen in 2001. The gatepiers at the entrance are chamfered, rectangular-plan structures that terminate in stepped pyramidal caps.
