Because 116 and 116A were combined together around 1986 when Colin James hairdressers moved to bigger premises the upstairs rooms (House?) get included as well. From plans held at Annan Museum for Buttercup Dairies refurbishment around 1925 we understand 116 was on the left and 116A on the right. However, not all evidence specifies which was which.

Taken from a RoM magazine showing the circus coming to town in 1906 - we can see number 116 but not the shop name.
These 2 photos again from RoM magazines show Buttercup Dairy at number 116. Slight differences can be seen in the shop display and staff.
Memories: Buttercup Dairy had a finely tiled entry and barrels of butter which were dug out, squared, weighed and wrapped to meet customers' orders.
