Irvine Royal Academy from Irvine Moor, engraving (date unknown) - by Crawford Fulton
This beautiful building was designed by David Hamilton, one of Glasgow's best architects (he designed, amongst other noted projects, the Queen Street facade of the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow). The school was completed in 1816, but demolished before the end of that century in order to make way for a larger replacement, which can be viewed here:

The First Building On The North East Bank - by Crawford Fulton
This photo is taken from George McMaster's Collection. This building was located at the western end of Bridgegate, the rear of the property was visible from the southern end of the Low Green and could also be seen from the iconic viewpoint of Waterside (which takes in the Water Bridge, Trinity Church and Irvine Old Parish Church). To the extreme left, you can make out the Wilson Fullarton Church, which rises above the first pier of the Water Bridge.
