Description
Blairmore House, now Blairmore School, was designed in 1884-85 by A. Marshall Mackenzie of Matthews and Mackenzie for Alexander Geddes, a businessman known as ‘The Chicago Grain King’. It is constructed in a Baronial style. The west portion of the house is two storeys high with a flat, battlemented roof, with rounded angles corbelled to square at the first floor level. It features a porch on the west side and an oriel window in the centre of the south elevation. The east portion comprises two storeys and a basement, with an attic and a pitched roof with crowsteps. The house is built of dark, rockfaced granite with light dressings, and incorporates mullioned and transomed windows. Contract books for the construction were kept by Matthews and Mackenzie, as noted by John Marr Esq., FRIBA.
