Description
Invermay House is a significant building dating from 1750 to 1770, as indicated by estate maps. The west side features bows, a porch, and partial redecoration of the ground floor completed by Alexander Laing around 1804. A billiard room wing was added around 1904. The house is three stories tall with a basement, finished in harled stone with margins, and has a moulded eaves cornice and a platformed piend roof.
The west entrance front has five windows, with the central bay being advanced and pedimented. The tripartite window in the center of the first floor is complemented by a segmental Roman Doric column porch that includes an attractive fanlight and steps with a cast iron railing, flanked by three-window bows on the ground floor. The east front features a central chimney gable and a three-window bow on both the first and second floors, with two windows on either side. There are small additions in the angles of the building.
Inside, there is a fine hall staircase and original woodwork throughout. The main ground floor rooms were remodeled by Laing in a simple classical style, and some of the chimney-pieces upstairs were replaced around the same time.
