INTERIOR: not seen 2001.
A distinctive late 18th century tenement block retaining a rare example of a curved forestair. A building appears to be shown in this location on a map of 1817 (McKerracher) and is identifiable on the 1st Edition OS Map. This (upper section) of the high street appears to have developed in importance during the later 19th century (probably when the ground floor shop front was inserted).
