Broad gabled bay over display windows with single window to each floor, dividing corbel course supporting gutter and arrowslit in gablehead with shouldered stack; canted 4-part oriel window over outer bays extending to 2nd floor with blocking course.

This property boasts a fine and rare survival of a traditional butchers shop. Crieff Burgh Council Minutes of 9th December, 1889 (item 6) record "plans of a house and shop to be erected at the corner of King Street and Commissioner Street by Mr John Irvine, Butcher, approved as regards foundation levels". It would seem from this early date that work was either delayed or (which seems more likely) there were two building phases involved.
