Description

70 Baker Street in Stirling is a building designed by Sir Frank Mears & Partners in collaboration with Stirling Burgh Architect, conceived in 1938 and completed around 1955. It features a three-storey, four-bay section and a two-storey, three-bay section, forming a double tenement linked by an engaged octagonal stair tower. The exterior is constructed from bull-faced squared and snecked sandstone, with projecting cills and roll-moulded skewputts.

On the south elevation facing Baker Street, the left side has four recessed bays with regular fenestration above. The right side, which includes the stair tower, is more prominent, featuring an entrance at the center right with a roll-moulded surround and an oculus above. To the left of the entrance is a window, and to the outer right is a larger window. Above, there is a window to the left of center and a pair of quasi-stone-mullioned tripartite windows to the right. The stair tower has an entrance on the right at ground level with a roll-moulded surround, a small window on the first floor, and three small windows on each face of the tower at the second floor.

The east elevation consists of two bays. The left bay is constructed with bull-faced squared and snecked stone, featuring a crowstepped gablehead and a gablehead stack, with a window on the left at ground level. The right bay is recessed and harled, with a window at ground level.

The building has UPVC tilt and turn windows in the five bays to the left, while the right bays and the east elevation feature timber sash and case windows. There is a gablehead stack to the east and west of the right bay, a ridgestack to the left, and roll-moulded skewputts.
