This two-storey house in Polnoon Street was built in 1774 and tacked to James Tassie, merchant. The building comprises a number of different vernacular features such as a gambral roof; round-topped dormers; scrolled skewputs; three windowed projected elevation; pedimented nepus gable; rusticated quoins; pilastered doorpiece with overdoor and volute keyblocks above window openings. It has a five bay symmetrical façade. The farmhouse at Wester Kitochside Farm http://www.nts.org.uk/Property/41/ built in 1783 by Hendry Granger and Tom Lochore for John Reid has many similar vernacular features.
