George Hotel, Kilmarnock

Nowadays the building is used by Mason Murphy as a furniture shop and the rest of the property is a disco.

[3] The building was originally a coaching inn with posting facilities available, with the hotel serving as the towns premier location for accommodation.

The hotel had a large function room, and given its superiority to the town hall, was often used for hosting civic receptions.

The former function hall and part of the building was reconstructed as the George Cinema which opened in 1923.

[6] The building is largely occupied by Mason Murphy Furniture Retailers, which was founded in 1873.
