Comar House, Strathview Terrace, Pitlochry

Comar House is circa 1900 and is a two-storey, four-bay house featuring a conical-roofed tower, a timber verandah, and classical detailing. The house is constructed of narrow bands of stugged red sandstone with contrasting ashlar dressings, and harl with stone margins to the side and rear elevations. It has a bull-faced base course and band courses. A segmental-headed doorway is keystoned, and windowheads are pedimented, with stone mullions and stop-chamfered arrises.

The southwest elevation, the principal facade, has an advanced bay to the outer right featuring three windows on each floor of the round tower. This tower has a timber mutuled cornice and a conical roof with a decorative cast-iron finial. An equally advanced gabled bay is situated to the outer left, incorporating a projecting crenellated four-light canted window on the ground floor. Above this, a wide-centre bipartite window is positioned at the first floor level, accentuated by a blank corniced frieze above the outer lights and an attenuated keystone extending to the raised centre of the windowhead, culminating in a broken apex pediment and a mutuled band in the gablehead. Two recessed bays lead to a full-width verandah supported by four square-section piers, stretched braces, pendant finials, and a pierced frieze. The doorway to the left has chamfered reveals and a mutuled doorhead with a fluted and corniced keystone. The door itself is vertically-panelled timber, with a fluted pilaster to the left and an adjacent coloured leaded light topped by a segmental fanlight, also coloured and leaded, a further coloured leaded light sits adjacent to the door. The first floor features two windows each with segmentally-moulded windowheads and a mutuled band that breaks the eaves to form dormerheads.

The southeast elevation shows two windows to each floor of a gabled bay to the left of centre, with the round tower adjoining at the outer left. There is a further window to each floor in the bay to the right, with the first floor window breaking the eaves into a dormerhead.

The northwest elevation displays a broad gabled bay with windows to the outer right and outer left.

The northeast (rear) elevation comprises a gabled structure with a single-storey lean-to wing and a modern flat-roofed extension, alongside a window to the right of centre on the first floor.

The tower windows are fitted with rounded glass in timber sash and case frames, while modern glazing is found elsewhere. The roof is covered in grey slates. Coped ashlar stacks have cans, and the eaves overhang with plain bargeboarding, timber-finialled gables, and dormerheads.

A rubble terrace and boundary walls complete the setting.
