Argyll Buildings, Shore Street, Kilcreggan

Argyll Buildings, located on Shore Street in Kilcreggan, were constructed in the late 19th century, between 1888 and 1903. This building features two stories and an attic, designed as symmetrical tenements with shops on the ground floor. The structure has a rectangular plan, consisting of a four-bay central block flanked by two-storey pavilion blocks on either side.

The exterior is made of whinstone rubble with harl-pointing, accented by rusticated red sandstone margins and dressings, and rusticated quoins. It showcases Jacobethan strapwork detail, projecting eaves, and exposed rafters.

The southeast elevation features a slightly advanced four-bay central block. The ground floor is occupied by shops, with a continuous fascia cornice. The Spar shop takes up most of the ground floor and has been altered with a tiled shop front, aluminium windows and doors, and a modern shop sign. To the outer left is a pharmacy with an original panelled door, an inner half-glazed door topped with a large fanlight, and attractive lettering on the fascia. The upper floors have symmetrically arranged bays, with two windows at the center adorned with strapwork detail above, and tripartite windows on the outer left and right. Round-headed attic windows are located to the right and left, with a gable breaking the eaves above. There are also two roof-lights at the center. The lower pavilion blocks on the outer left and right have a butcher shop on the left with a modern door and window, and a striped awning. The outer right features a door and a blocked opening, with a window above, and steps leading to doors on both the right and left returns.

The building has 4-pane and plate glass timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof with lead flashings, and broad, corniced sandstone ridge stacks with circular or octagonal cans.

The interior consists of modern shops on the ground floor, while the upper floor is divided into flats.
