Adjacent to the Conservative Club and built as a reading room, the structure has undergone many changes of use. It has been a religious meeting place and most recently the offices of a painter and decorator. The street is named after Peter Sturrock, the Provost (1874 - 1886) who was a Burns scholar and was instrumental in having the Burns Monument in Kay Park erected.
