Description
Ladyhill House Hotel, located on Hill Street in Elgin, was built in 1811 with additions made in 1853 by Thomas Mackenzie and further alterations in 1908 by A Marshall Mackenzie. The building is harled and whitewashed, featuring an original structure that consists of two storeys and an attic over a raised basement, with three bays and a central door that is now obscured by a later glazed loggia.
On either side of the central section are later flanking bowed bays that rise to full height and have semi-conical roofs. To the east gable, there is a single-storey wing with a bowed bay that contains three small round-headed windows and a semi-conical roof, along with a deep loggia designed in the Elgin "piazza" style. This loggia incorporates various reused architectural elements such as pediments, pillars, and marriage stones from 17th-century Elgin houses.
The 1853 addition includes a neo-Romanesque porch on the northwest side, which features a heavily moulded and vaulted interior. The building has corniced end stacks, crowstepped gables, and slate roofs. Surrounding the property are high rubble garden walls, with a lintel dating back to 1623 incorporated over the garden entrance on Hill Terrace.
