description
The building is located south of Dumfries' historic center near the left bank of the Nith . It was probably built between 1730 and 1750 for the city official Archibald Malcom . It is possible that the Scottish architect William Adam provided the plans for the construction of the villa.
The north-west facing front of the two-story city villa in the Baroque style is symmetrical and five axes wide. The flat central projection closes with a triangular gable with an oculus . Just like the risalit, the edges of the building are set off with rusticated corner stones . The central entrance portal is designed with Corinthian columns that support a crowning architrave with a triangular gable. The door closes with a fighter window . The facade closes with a cornice with a tooth cut , which also decorates the triangular gable. The roof is covered with slate.
The hall designed with pilasters and arches was redesigned in the 19th century. Various historical wooden elements have been preserved.
