120 George Street, Oban

120 George Street in Oban is a 2-storey and attic office building constructed in 1901, designed in the Jacobethan style. It features a rectangular plan and a nearly symmetrical street frontage made of red polished ashlar.

On the west elevation facing George Street, the entrance door is located in the right-hand bay at ground level. It is a double-leaf panelled door with glazed upper panels, topped by a stone panelled lintel and a 9-pane radial fanlight, which is architraved and adorned with carved foliate spandrels. The building has a base course with paired fluted consoles above and a string course at cill level. The bays are divided vertically by partially fluted pilasters that have entasis and stylised Ionic capitals, with the door pilasters being narrower than the others. These pilasters support a string course at lintel level, which features a frieze and open pediments above the outer bays. The pediments are embellished with cartouches, with the left one carved with thistles, a shield, and a lion rampant, all surmounted by a crown.

At the first floor level, there is a centrally placed oriel window that is corbelled out, flanked by blind arcaded bays. The corners of the corbel have foliage details at the cill level. The oriel window consists of four lights divided by a transom, with carved detail at the centre and full-height angle shafts extending up to the parapet, which are topped with ball finials (two of which are missing). The parapet panels feature robust foliate carving. A substantial dormer interrupts the scalloped eaves of the parapet, presenting a curvilinear gable with a datestone and hung slates. The corners of the dormer are marked by square shafts topped with a cornice and ball finials.

The ground floor has fixed light windows, with the lower half made of plate glass and a decorative glazing bar pattern above. Centrally, there is an 8-pane sash and case window, flanked by smaller bipartite 8-pane sash and case windows, all situated above a string course. An ovolo moulded string course runs above, connecting with the frame of the datestone.

The strip pilasters that frame the facade extend into square shafts at the parapet, which are corniced and topped with ball finials. The right-hand finial stands free, while the left-hand finial is engaged with the corner of the neighbouring building. There are cast-iron downpipes on the pilasters, which are looped by the oriel lintel course. The roof is covered with grey slate, with a skew on the south-facing gable. A modern 2-storey brick extension has been added to the rear.
