Scope and Content Blowing engine house from the north-east, Dunaskin Brick Works, Waterside Iron Works, Dalmellington, East Ayrshire The Dalmellington Iron Company founded the iron works at Waterside in 1847. The works were bought in 1931 by William Baird & Company Limited who established a new firm called Baird & Dalmellington Limited and built the brick works. The brick works closed in 1976. This shows a detail of the north-east front of the 1865 extension to the original blowing engine house built in 1847. The building has ashlar walls, topped by corbels, cornice and parapet. Below the corbels there are three decorative cast iron tie plates put in place to strengthen the building. The corbels are the mouldings which project from the wall, supporting the cornice at the top of the building. Originally the blowing engine house was where cast iron would have been produced but when the iron works became a brick works it was converted to house brick presses.
