Description
The Argyle Bar, located at 1 Grant Street in Inverness, is a public house likely built around 1900. It stands as a single storey structure on a corner site, featuring a tall and prominent iron-crested French roof over a canted angle. This roof includes a blocked neo-Gibbsian doorway. The exterior is finished in dressed light-coloured ashlar, which has been stone-cleaned, and it features modern glazing. The building has tripartite windows on its elevations and doorways at both ends. The main roofs are parapetted and all are slated, with a curvilinear wall-head gable on the Gilbert Street elevation. Additionally, there is a rock-faced bay on the same elevation. The interior was not inspected for this report.
