Description

Alexander Shairp, 1884, single storey arcaded shop units, polygonal plan adjoining N wall of Caledonian Hotel with chamfered bays to outer elevation. Painted ashlar; stall risers with projecting pedestals, engaged polished granite columns with Corinthian capitals and bases framing stilted segmental-arched window and door openings, string course, deep frieze, bracketted cornice and blocking course above. Decorative cast-iron brattishing on blocking course enclosing flat roof.

Statement of Interest

Column and arch pattern consistent except for No 2/3 where a later shopfront has been installed. Originally built as 6 units for Agnes Angus of the Imperial Hotel, Nos 2/3 were altered in 1929 for Robert Lindsay, jeweller, by Lake Falconer, architect creating the current (1993) 5 shop units. The original granite columns still survive within the later work. This type of shop unit rarely survives with this many details intact.
