Description
1726. 2-storey with attic, 4-bay, rectangular-plan, gabled tenement with shops at ground. Harled, yellow sandstone rubble with ashlar margins. Painted margins with projecting cills to windows.
W (PRINCIPAL) ELEVATION: bull-faced stucco to outer left bay at ground floor; door flanked by window to immediate left. Window to bay to right, timber panelled door to bay to right.

E (REAR) ELEVATION: irregular fenestration, 2-storey advanced bay to left, single storey addition to right.
N (SIDE) ELEVATION blind gable end, 2 large stone buttresses.
S (SIDE) ELEVATAION: obscured by abutting building.
12-pane, timber frame, sash and case windows to upper storey, fixed plate glass to ground. Grey slates, lead flashing. Coped gable end stack to S.

Statement of Special Interest
The extra roof stack and attic window to the outer right bay shows this to have been a later addition. Despite the bull-faced render to the front elevation and numerous alterations and additions to the rear the building remains a well-proportioned 18th century provincial town house at its core. And as such remarkable survivor of the late nineteenth century rebuilding of Dunblane High Street. A carved panel with coat-of-arms and date described in the original list description as being almost obliterated has latterly been harled and a burglar alarm fitted over.

About Listed Buildings
Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.
We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.
Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.
We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)
Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.
These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.
The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.
While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.
If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.
Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
