Chalmers Buildings, 2-14 Main Street, 1907, Sir Robert Lorimer
Good example of Lorimer's cottage style, for papermill workers, in white harl and swept slate roofs. Prow-shaped dormers are slate-clad and hung - with the usual diamond motif. Gables hipped and eyebrow-eaved. The Public Hall (community centre), across the road, is also by Lorimer in 1907: a harled rectangle, the sides consist of four huge windows with ogee-roofs rising into the roof, punctuated by battered buttresses. The gable to the street has a lunette window rising above the entrance porch.
