44, 46 and 48 Main Street, Campbeltown

T L Watson of Glasgow, designed in 1909. A 3-storey asymmetrical Glasgow Style tenement with 5, 12, and 5-bay elevations facing Main Street, Longrow South, and Union Street respectively, and additional octagonal and circular common bays at the north and south corners. The building is constructed of bull-faced squared and snecked rubble walls with droved red sandstone ashlar dressings and details. An intermittent base course and stall risers run across the elevations, with a cornice at first floor level and at the eaves.

The Main Street elevation comprises six bays including an octagonal bay at the corner to the outer right. A pend entrance to the left of centre features an architraved door set within an architraved panel, with a keystone and flanking circlets at the lintel. Paired timber shopfronts with stone stall risers are positioned to the left, with a modern shopfront to the right. A 3-light canted bay window appears at the first and second floors of the bay to the outer left, with a lintel course at first floor and a cill course at second floor, and a corniced parapet breaking the eaves with an arrowslit at the centre. A matching canted bay appears in the bay to the right of centre. The corner at the outer right is chamfered at ground floor, with an infilled architraved door featuring a keystone. Above this, the corner corbels out to form an octagonal corner tower with a lintel course at first floor and a cill course at second floor. The tower breaks through the eaves with a cornice and an octagonal base supporting a harled drum with an ogee-capped roof above.

The Longrow South elevation contains fourteen bays, including an octagonal corner bay at the outer left and a circular corner bay at the outer right. This elevation is nearly symmetrical, with a pend entrance centred at ground floor matching that on the Main Street side, and matching doorways in the third bays from the outer left and right. The centre two bays at first and second floors are flanked by windows comprising paired 3-light canted bays matching those on the Main Street elevation, intersecting a tall architraved panel at the centre surmounted by a semicircular open pediment. A 3-bay section flanks this, with pend entrances matching the central one centred at ground floor. The elevation is framed by wallhead stacks corbelled out at first floor, and adjoining corner towers. The chamfered corner bay features an entrance door at the outer right, matching the bay at the outer left. A 4-light circular window appears in the rounded corner tower at first and second floors, with a lintel course at second floor and a cill course at second floor. The tower breaks through the eaves with a cornice and a circular base supporting a harled drum with a domed cap roof.

The Union Street elevation comprises five irregularly spaced bays. A modern shopfront between ashlar piers sits at ground floor. A circular corner tower occupies the rounded corner at upper floors to the outer left, with a 3-flue wallhead stack to the right of the penultimate bay on the left. Narrow windows appear at first and second floors of the penultimate bay on the right.

Mainly timber sash and case windows survive throughout, featuring 3-pane upper sashes and 2-pane lower sashes. Vertically-boarded timber gates with latticed uppers lead to the pends. The roof is covered in grey slate, piended at corners to Longrow South. Cast-iron profiled gutters and downpipes drain the roof. Red sandstone ashlar wallhead stacks are positioned across the elevations (foreshortened at the outer left of the Main Street elevation), each corniced with red circular cans. Multi-flue apex stacks at the ridge are harled and corniced with red circular cans.

The common stairs feature white glazed brick walls.
