3, 5 and 7 Barnton Street and 39 and 41 Friars Street, Stirling

Dating from 1840, the building comprising nos 3, 5 and 7 Barnton Street and nos 39 and 41 Friars Street is a three-storey and attic former hotel occupying a prominent corner site. The building is five bays wide along Friars Street and 7 bays to Barnton Street with a recessed and bowed one-bay quadrant corner. It is constructed in ashlar stone with a main cornice and blocking course.

The window openings at first floor level are architraved with cornices above (on Friars Street) and alternately pedimented along the Barnton Street frontage. The windows are predominantly two-pane glazing in timber sash and case frames throughout. The roof is slated with eight canted dormer windows along Barnton Street and five dormers along Friars Street (all appear to be replacement dormers). There are fluted wall-head chimneystacks with scrolled bases, one on each elevation and one over the quadrant.

There are five retail units to the ground floor and flats above (2022).
