Description
56 Main Street in Doune is a three-storey residential building designed by John Allan and dated 1900. It is tall and narrow, constructed of red brick with sandstone dressings, cill, and lintel courses.
On the northeast elevation, there is a door to the left featuring a large, border-glazed fanlight. To the right, a tripartite timber-mullioned window is situated beneath a corbelled lintel course that spans both openings. On the first floor, there is a tripartite stone-mullioned window flanked by a stone panel carved with "D1900M" and inscribed with the phrase "Let justice, truth, honor and respect for others rights be wrought into every part of our empire," along with carved symbols below. The second or attic floor has a tripartite window to the right, topped with a block cornice and a parapet with railings above. The mansard roof slopes down to the left and features a cast-iron rooflight.
The eastern gable is harled and extends back in a flat-roofed form, while the western gable is shared with No. 52 Main Street. The timber sash and case windows have a distinctive glazing pattern, with the upper sashes divided into small-pane patterns. The mansard roof is covered with grey slates, and there are brick stacks. The interior was not seen in 1996.
