Description
The Portgower Inn, dated 1813, is a single-story building with an attic, presenting a symmetrical three-bay front. Built at a cost of $580, it features harl-pointed rubble walls with tooled dressings and painted margins to the first-floor windows. A datestone displaying the Sutherland and Stafford arms sits above the central doorway. Three gabletted dormers break the wallhead, and the building has four-pane glazing and end stacks with a slate roof. A lean-to single-story stable partially abuts the east gable. The inn is referenced in James Loch’s Improvements on the Estates of Lord Stafford (1820), which includes an illustration on plate 38.
