Description
The Station Hotel, located at 92 and 94 High Street in Alness, was designed by William C. Joass in 1867 and recast by William Mackintosh in 1902. This two-storey and attic hotel features an irregular plan and is built in a Baronial style on a corner site. The exterior is made of rubble sandstone with polished ashlar dressings, showcasing chamfered reveals and crowstepped gables. The first-floor windows extend into the eaves, creating dormerheads.
On the north elevation, the entrance features a doorway with a glazed cast-iron canopy set in a recessed bay at the center, with a single window above it. To the right, there is a bipartite window at ground level, and above it, a tripartite window with a segmental-arched corbel table. A later single window is set in the gablehead. The outer right bay has a circular corner tower with three single windows on the ground and first floors, topped with a swept conical roof adorned with fishscale slate banding. To the left of the entrance, there is an advanced three-bay range, featuring a pedimented doorway and a single window to the outer left bay, with a bipartite window above it. The remaining bays contain single and bipartite windows on both floors.
The west elevation consists of three bays, with single windows on both floors in the gabled bay to the outer left, which has a carved pediment above the first-floor window. The central bay also has single windows on both floors, while the outer right bay features bipartite windows on both floors.
The east and south elevations were not seen in 1997, but they are noted to have two-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slate, featuring corniced gablehead stacks and cast iron rainwater goods. The interior was not seen in 1997.
