Description

33 High Street in Oban is a former school building from the later 19th century, now serving as a dwelling house. This two-storey structure is designed in the Scots Baronial style and is attached to tenements along High Street. It features crowstepped gables, with the main facade located at the northwest end and a single-storey wing extending to the southwest. The street-facing elevation is made of stugged, squared, and snecked sandstone, while the side and rear elevations are constructed from random rubble and cement-rendered materials, with stugged and arrised dressings.

On the northwest elevation facing High Street, there is a central entrance door flanked by narrow slit windows, a blank panel with a hoodmould, and a window above it. A circular stair tower is positioned at the corner to the right, featuring slit windows on both the ground and first floors.

The southwest elevation has three bays, with a window located in the third bay on the ground floor only. There is a gabled single-storey wing that projects from this elevation, which includes a central window on the northwest return and a single flue apex stack.

On the southeast rear elevation, there is a ground floor window to the right and a central window on the first floor. The building has 8-pane timber sash and case windows, with 4-pane windows for the slit windows. The first floor of the southwest and southeast elevations has modern glazing. The entrance features a two-leaf timber door decorated with Gothic panels and a two-light fanlight above. The roof is covered with grey slates arranged in diminishing courses, leading up to a conical tower spire with swept eaves.
