Dictionary of Scottish Architects at www.scottisharchitects.org.uk (accessed 10-04-08). NOTES: This is an important building on a strategic corner site in the centre of <strong>Stewarton</strong>. The Classical treatment including ground-arched 1st floor windows and the rusticated door piece ensure that the building contributes significantly to the streets cape. The building stands on the corner of the High Street and Avenue Square. The High Street contains predominantly more simply detailed 18th century buildings and Avenue Square, which was constructed from the late 18th century has more aspirational Classical buildings, reflecting the increasing wealth of the town. This building provides a pivotal link these two important streets in the town. William Raihon (1820-1902) was a Kilmarnock architect who became the architect fur the Union Bank in 1852 and who designed many branches fur them, principally in this Italianate style.
