Foundry Offices, 96-104 Academy Street, Inverness

The Foundry Offices, located at 96-104 Academy Street in Inverness, were designed by Ross and Macbeth in 1893 in the French Renaissance style. The building is constructed from snecked rubble with freestone dressings and stands three storeys tall with a three-bay front. The façade is divided by a giant pilastrade and features three shopfronts on the ground floor, which have been altered for office use. The first floor showcases bowed tripartite windows with an ornamental frieze and broken scrolled pediments. The second floor has tripartite windows beneath gablets, which contain arched tympana filled with tiled depictions of industrial activity. Additionally, the Rose Street front is a gabled one-bay continuation of the Academy Street front.
