Post Office, Main Street, Campbeltown

The Post Office on Main Street in Campbeltown is an early 19th century, two-storey, five-bay tenement building that originally housed post office facilities on the ground floor. The ground floor is constructed of ashlar stone, while the first floor features smooth cement render that is lined on the Argyll Street elevation, all painted. The building has a base course, a band course at the first floor, and an eaves cornice. The first floor has raised margins with projecting cills and corner margins.

On the northwest (Main Street) elevation, the ground floor includes entrance doors at the first and third bays, with a large rectangular window opening between them and two matching windows to the outer right. The first floor windows are closely spaced at the second and third bays.

The southwest (Argyll Street) elevation is mostly blank, featuring only a large square window at the ground floor on the left with a projecting cill and lintel, and a door at the outer right.

The southeast (rear) elevation has a single-storey lean-to addition at the ground floor, with vertically-boarded timber additions at the first floor.

The building has six-pane timber windows on the ground floor and twelve-pane timber sash and case windows on the first floor. The entrance doors are four-panel, two-leaf timber doors with plate glass rectangular fanlights, located at the outer left and right of the Main Street and Argyll Street elevations, respectively. The roof is covered with grey slate, including the rear additions, and features cast-iron gutters and downpipes. The apex stacks are cement rendered, coped, and painted, with circular cans, a seven-flue chimney at the ridge, and a four-flue chimney at the gable. There is a coped and stepped yard wall projecting to the right from the Argyll Street elevation, with an entrance door at the outer left that has four-panel, two-leaf timber doors and a raised margin around it. Adjacent to the right is a six-pane window with a projecting cill and lintel, and there are two-leaf vertically boarded gates with iron spikes to the right.

The interior was not seen in 1995, but panelled shutters are visible in the first floor window reveals.
