Rectory, St Michael And All Angels Church, 28 Abban Street, Inverness

The Rectory, located at 28 Abban Street, Inverness, was designed by Alexander Ross and Son and built in 1912. It is a two-storey Jacobethan-style rectory. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked, stugged sandstone with ashlar dressings and moulded arrises, featuring stone mullions and transoms. Most first-floor windows have hoodmoulds, and the principal gables have curvilinear gableheads. A base course and dividing string course are present, along with an eaves cornice.

The north-east elevation, which fronts Abban Street, has four irregular bays. A Tudor-arched, hoodmoulded doorway is located to the right of centre, with roll-moulded arrises and the date 1912 carved into the spandrels. A narrow window sits alongside the doorway to the right. A bipartite window breaks the eaves within a gabled dormerhead above the doorway. The bay to the outer right features a bipartite window at ground level and a single window in the gablehead above. To the left of centre is a bay with a bipartite stair window and a small, horizontal bipartite window below. The outer left bay has a broad Jacobean gable, with a tripartite window at ground level and a bipartite window at the first floor. A low, single-storey passage link connects the rectory to the church to the outer right, featuring a moulded surround to a two-leaf panelled door with flanking windows.

The south-west elevation, at the rear, is three bays wide, with the outer bays slightly advanced and featuring Jacobean gableheads, the one on the right being more deeply advanced. At the centre of the ground floor is a four-light window, with a bipartite window breaking the eaves within a gabled dormerhead above. The left bay has a tripartite window at ground level and a bipartite window at the first floor. The right bay features a projecting five-light window at ground level, with a round-arched centre light, a cornice, and a tiled roof, above which sits a tripartite window.

The south-east elevation has three bays: a gabled bay to the outer left with bipartite windows on both floors; a bipartite window to the first floor at centre; and single windows to each floor in the bay to the right. The north-west elevation is linked to the church (described in relation to the north-east elevation).

The windows are square, lead-paned casements. It has a red tile roof. Ashlar coped gableheads are topped with ball finials. Decorative cast-iron gutter fixtures and top hoppers are present, with the downpipes jumped by the string course. Corniced ashlar stacks are located on the north-west gablehead and along the ridge. The interior was not inspected in 1994. Boundary walls are constructed of harl-pointed rubble with semicircular coping; these formerly had swept down coping for railings, which have since been replaced with a harled wall.
