9 Park Avenue, Stirling

9 Park Avenue in Stirling is a large villa built in 1895 by John Allan. This idiosyncratic two-storey building with an attic and a single-storey mansard attic is situated on a corner site. It features snecked rubble construction with rock-faced dressings around the windows. The design includes a splayed corner bay with a small piended dormer above, which helps transition from the splayed angle to the pavilion roof.

The Park Avenue frontage showcases an end canted bay at the steep-roofed two-storey section, also topped with a small piended dormer. There is a columned porch with a stilted lintel located in the re-entrant angle of the single-storey and attic wing, which has two small round-headed dormers. The Clarendon Place side has two bipartite windows and an end canted bay similar to that on Park Avenue, with a low-pitched roof in between. The single-storey and mansard wing has had two out of three original dormers replaced with clumsy modern versions. Notably, the upper sashes feature unusual five-pane glazing.
