II
Hall-house, C1400, now altered to shop and storage premises. Timber frame with brick nogging and tile roof, but rendered C19 facade to Carfax. Five bays extending back along Piries Place, with small rear prolongation in brick. Two storeys. The facade on Carfax has a steep gable, solid parapet, and three bays of sash windows, single lights flanking a tripartite window, all without glazing bars. Large shop window to ground floor. The right-hand bay bridges Pirie's Place. The side to the lane has three main posts showing, and small framing to the first floor to these bays. Later openings to ground floor including glazing-bar sashes to the second bay.
Inside, the first two bays were always floored and the communicating door was in the present position on the ground floor. Closed truss between had down braces from post heads, and from crown post which supports a full series of very long, heavy collars. The next truss is said to be nearly complete and similar. Beyond there is believed to have been a two-bay open hall, with a later brick stack inserted in the short second bay. This stack has a small panelled chimney piece of the early C18 facing into the last bay; all bays are now floored. Windows dating from the period of flooring or not long after appear to survive on the yard side.
This early house forms a group with No. 26 and the building behind, which together define the Medieval width of Piries Place.
