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

Dating from 1840, the building that includes nos 3, 5 and 7 Barnton Street and nos 39 and 41 Friars Street is a three-storey and attic former hotel situated on a prominent corner site. It features five bays along Friars Street and seven bays along Barnton Street, with a recessed and bowed one-bay quadrant corner. The structure is made of ashlar stone and has a main cornice and blocking course.

At the first floor level, the window openings are architraved with cornices above on Friars Street and alternately pedimented along the Barnton Street frontage. The windows are mainly two-pane glazing set in timber sash and case frames throughout. The roof is slated and includes eight canted dormer windows along Barnton Street and five dormers along Friars Street, which all appear to be replacements. Fluted wall-head chimneystacks with scrolled bases are present, one on each elevation and one over the quadrant.

Currently, there are five retail units on the ground floor with flats above, as of 2022.
