Description

Rosebank, located on Leopold Street in Nairn, is a building that dates from around 1900 and was originally constructed as a United Presbyterian manse. Although the architect is not identified, the design shows similarities to the work of H E Clifford in Glasgow, presenting a competent interpretation of his style. The building features extensive use of mullioned and transomed windows on the front elevation, as well as a prominent deep semi-polygonal bay with a tall pointed roof.

The structure is two storeys high with three bays and has an asymmetrical layout. The front is finished in ashlar stone, while the sides are constructed from rubble. A spacious central doorway is set beneath a wide and open porch, which connects the tall left-hand bay to a projecting ground floor window on the right. The eaves are adorned with a trellis, and the original door and small-paned glazing are preserved throughout. Other notable features include deep projecting eaves, decorative barge-boards on the first-floor window to the right, slated roofs with finials, axial stacks, and a low and wide attic dormer.
