21-23 Cowane Street (with adjoining buildings) is a Category C listed building http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB41273. No. 21 had a ground floor shop. The building had become unsafe and from about 2014-2019 the property was covered in scaffolding and the walls stabilised. The original roof was removed and replaced, but although a temporary covering has been installed for some reason it has not yet been reslated. It is in the BARR website https://www.buildingsatrisk.org.uk/details/1009912.
