Description
51-53 Baker Street in Stirling is a tenement building dated 1715, which was substantially rebuilt in 1891. It stands three stories tall and has three bays, arranged in a 2-1 grouping, with a shop located on the ground floor. The building is constructed from squared and snecked sandstone, featuring ashlar dressings, architraves around the first-floor windows, and chamfered arrises on the second floor. The ground floor is finished with painted render and includes a fascia cornice and a broad cill band across the two bays of the second floor.
On the north elevation facing Baker Street, there is a gable over the two bays to the center and left, with the shop situated on the ground floor. The shop front, dating from 1891, includes a recessed door at the center flanked by large shop windows with chamfered arrises. There is also a wrought-iron shop gate with an arched iron pelmet. To the outer right, there is a door leading to a common stair, topped with a small-pane fanlight. The gabled bays feature regular fenestration, with the second-floor windows having cornices and a crowstepped gablehead. A plaque between the first-floor windows is inscribed with "1715. ID.CM. Rebuilt 1891." The bay to the right has narrow windows.
The first-floor windows are timber sash and case with small-pane glazing in the upper sashes and plate glass in the lower sashes, while the second-floor windows have modern replacements. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there is a gablehead stack with terracotta cans and rough beak skewputts. The iron shop gate is also a notable feature.
