Description
15, 17, 19 Main Street in Callander is an attractive, symmetrical five-bay building dating from the early 19th century. It features shops on the ground floor and flatted apartments on the first floor and attic. Although the building has undergone several insensitive alterations, including the addition of unsuitable roofing materials, the loss of original glazing on the first floor, and the replacement of canted dormer windows with modern rooflights, it still contributes positively to the streetscape and retains some original detailing, such as moulded paired pends.
The principal southwest elevation has a centrally located corniced doorpiece, which is missing some consoles and part of its moulding, leading into an internal vestibule and staircase to the first floor and attic flat. There is a timber shopfront flanking the main entrance, with a door on the left. To the right of the central door is another narrow shopfront that has been converted from a former doorway. The outer bays at the ground floor feature paired moulded segmentally headed pend entrances, with the right entrance filled in as a shopfront and the left providing access to the rear. The first floor has five symmetrically arranged windows. The rear northeast elevation is mostly obscured at the ground floor by two modern single-storey flat-roofed extensions.
The building is constructed from squared, coursed 'pudding stone' with tab detailing around the raised sandstone window margins and quoins. It has a timber panelled door with a bipartite fanlight at the center, along with various timber doors for the shops. The first-floor windows are modern timber stained sash and case, except for one surviving timber sash and case lying pane window at the center of the rear first floor. The roof is pitched and covered with modern concrete tiles, featuring large modern rooflights on the principal elevation and smaller modern rooflights at the rear.
