Description

Flemingsland, located at 6 Castlehill in Campbeltown, is an early 19th-century building that was recast by T L Watson in 1909. This three-storey, seven-bay symmetrical tenement features a roughcast finish, with droved ashlar quoins and dressings. The base course is made of bull-faced sandstone, with margins around the principal front corners, doors, and windows that have projecting cills.

The northwest elevation, facing Main Street, has a basket-arched pend at the center, flanked by rusticated quoins and voussoirs. Above the pend is a terracotta plaque with the inscription "FLEMING'S LAND." The entrance doors, located in the second and sixth bays, are architraved and corniced, with scrolled consoles below and a block pediment above. There are concrete-covered steps leading up to the doors, with a section of the handrail still surviving at the door on the left.

The southwest elevation features a blank rendered gable. The southeast elevation, which is the rear, is also symmetrical with seven bays and has a plain pend opening at the center. There are projecting stair towers with curved ends in the second and sixth bays, which are blank at the ground floor but have entrance doors in the re-entrant angles and tall windows at the upper level.

Most openings have 12-pane timber sash and case windows, while the upper level of the stair towers has 18-pane windows. The street entrance doors are four-panel timber with six-pane fanlights above. The rear has vertically-boarded timber doors. The roof is made of grey slate and curves over the stair towers, with cast-iron downpipes and gutters.

In the rear garden, there is a cruciform concrete path layout with a circular bed at the center. The rendered garden walls have red ashlar coping that flanks the rear elevation, and the garden door surrounds are made of red sandstone ashlar with quoins. To the south, there is a wash-house with a gabled garden elevation to the right, featuring a bipartite window and a door to the left, along with a small oculus in the gablehead above. The wash-house has a rendered finish, a purple slate roof with terracotta ridges, an ashlar eaves course, and skews with ball finials, as well as a four-flue corniced square ridge stack with red circular cans. The entrance is marked by square corniced ashlar gatepiers with pyramidal caps, plain two-leaf wrought-iron gates with decorative ironwork arch above, and flanking dwarf walls with wrought-iron railings between the gates and wash-house.
