Former Inveraray Jail and County Court, Crown Point, Inveraray

The Former Inveraray Jail and County Court, located at Crown Point in Inveraray, was designed by James Gillespie Graham and is based on a design by Robert Reid from 1807. Constructed between 1816 and 1820, this building is a two-storey structure with an attic, featuring three bays and a symmetrical, classical style. It served as county buildings and a courthouse and was partly restored by Ian Gordon Lindsay & Partners in 1965, with further restoration in 1989 to become the Inveraray Jail visitor attraction.

The exterior is made of ashlar stone, with a rusticated ground floor and Tuscan pilasters at the corners that extend from the first floor to the attic. The sides and rear are harled, accented with ashlar dressings. The rear elevation features a full-height bowed bay at the center, and the roof is piended behind a balustrade parapet. The front elevation's central advanced bay includes a large Venetian window flanked by paired Tuscan pilasters. The entrance door has a segmental fanlight above it, and the first-floor windows are adorned with balustraded aprons.

The interior, observed in 2014, is organized around a first-floor courtroom located at the rear. This courtroom is symmetrical, with a recess behind the bench supported by Tuscan columns. The reinstated timber pews are arranged in a raked semi-circular formation. A central dog-leg stone stair with a plain balustrade and timber handrail provides access.
