The Opera House, Kilmarnock
Facade of Opera House showing scaffolding protecting the structure and stone carvings.
The mask keystones, inner columns, floreate spandrels and central blind balustrade are clearly visible in this illustration.
The local authority has approved a planning application for the construction of a hotel on the site.
The adjacent buildings and the opera house facade were re-categorised by Historic Scotland in 2006 and are now regarded as an "A listed" group.
