Description

This building, located on High Street in Campbeltown, was constructed in 1877 and is a two-storey and attic tenement featuring a near-symmetrical design with seven bays and canted stair towers that project to the rear. The principal elevation is finished in painted ashlar, while the side and rear elevations are roughcast. It has a moulded base course and a band course at the eaves. The principal elevation is framed by strip pilasters and has architraved openings with projecting cills at the windows.

On the ground floor, there are entrance doors located at the center and in the penultimate bays on the left and right, featuring four-panel doors with plate glass fanlights. To the left, there is a panelled inner door with a two-pane etched glass upper section, and bipartite windows are found in the outer left and right bays. The first floor has bipartite windows in the outer left and right bays, with a window centered between the third and fourth bays.

The east elevation is a blank gable end, while the south (rear) elevation is symmetrical, featuring a pend door at the center and dominant three-storey canted stair towers that break the eaves at the penultimate bays on the left and right.

The ground floor of the principal elevation has modern glazing, while the first floor features plate glass timber sash and case windows. The rear elevation has four-pane timber sash and case windows, except for the five-pane timber sash and case stair windows that include border glazing. The roof is covered with grey and purple slate, piended over the stair towers. It has cast-iron gutters and downpipes, with the principal elevation gutter decorated with evenly spaced palmette motifs. The north pitch has slate-hung dormers that include bipartite timber sash and case windows with dentilled cornices and segmental corniced dormerheads above. There are also piend-roofed, slate-hung timber dormers with four-pane timber sash and case windows and plate glass sidelights. The roughcast corniced stacks have decorative circular cans at the gable apexes and are centered on the platform roof.

The boundary walls consist of an ashlar dwarf wall with a moulded cope (the railings have been removed) and a random rubble wall with a concrete cope along North Shore Street. The gatepiers are stugged and cherry-caulked ashlar with copes.
