Patrick Ryan — Main Street matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This house retains much of its original attractive and well proportioned form. It is distinguished by the elegant render details, which subtly enhance the façade. Significantly, the site retains its ornate tripartite shopfront, complete with original fitting, which are indicative of high quality nineteenth-century design and execution. The shopfront, together with features such as the sash windows and slate roof, help to preserve the original appearance of the house, which makes a positive contribution the architectural heritage of Doon. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
