Description
This is a late 19th century range of buildings relating to the Glenlochy Distillery, constructed of brick with contrasting moulded tiled string courses and detailing.
The office is a single-storey, three-bay south-facing range that fronts a gabled kiln extension. A central door is flanked by canted bay windows, and these are connected by a deep, slated canopy forming a verandah. A further verandah extends to the southwest, previously serving as a wages office, and is supported by cast-iron columns on a short retaining wall with curved brackets. Above the office is a piended platform roof with a decorative cast-iron balustrade; a first-floor tripartite window is framed by a deep cornice and giant pilasters supporting a segmental headed pediment, which frames decorative tiled plaques. The window features multi-pane glazing in the upper sashes, as does the tripartite window.
The kiln itself is a square brick structure with a piended slated roof, topped by a tall, pagoda-style louvred vent and a weathervane. Two further square towers, clad in corrugated asbestos, have pagoda-shaped piended roofs with slender finials.
A long, double-gabled, single-storey and loft bonded warehouse range extends west of the kiln. This warehouse has symmetrical 12-bay elevations to the north and south, each defined by giant brick pilasters. Segmental headed ground floor and small, louvred loft windows feature, with the latter linked by a continuous cillband. Similar detailing is present on the rear (north) elevation.
The roofs are slate, with tiled ridges. The buildings are located outside the Burgh of Fort William, near the parish boundary defined by the River Nevis. The warehouse range is located east of the office and kiln complex. The Manager's house, dated 1953, is not included in the listing.
