The building appears on the 2nd Edition OS map, but not on the 1st, and so was built sometime between 1872 and 1905 when the two maps were surveyed. A photo exists of it in the 1930s when it was a Co-operative store and this road junction was known as Co-op Corner: https://www.johnstoncollection.net/show_image.php?ind=JN20004B001 . At the time of uploading, the building is empty and is on the Buildings at Risk Register for Scotland: https://www.buildingsatrisk.org.uk/details/926921 .
