Description

6 Rie-Achan Road in Pitlochry is a group of three small blocks of two-storey houses built in 1921. The buildings feature keel-shaped window heads and are constructed from roughly squared, snecked rubble with slab lintels. The doors are segmental-headed, and there are round-headed pend entrances, with voussoirs and relieving arches.

The southern elevation has a central block with seven bays (Nos 3-6) flanked by two smaller three-bay blocks (Nos 1-2 and 7-8).

Nos 1 and 2 have a bay to the left of centre that contains a panelled timber door with a four-part fanlight, a small window adjacent to the right, and a bipartite window to the left. To the right, there is a wide tripartite window with a carved stone that reads, "Memorial Stone Laid by Mrs Agnes Marguerite Butter of Cluniemore 17th September 1921." The first floor has two regularly spaced windows, each breaking the eaves into ogee dormer heads.

Nos 3-6 are symmetrical, featuring a central pend entrance on the ground floor, bipartite windows in the flanking bays, and doors in the penultimate bays, with wide tripartite windows in the outer bays. The first floor has a window in the centre bay that breaks the eaves into a triangular-pedimented dormer head, flanked by two windows and bipartite windows in the outer broadly gabled bays.

Nos 7 and 8 mirror Nos 1 and 2 but do not have the memorial stone.

The northern elevations are regularly fenestrated and include a variety of elements such as boarded timber doors and pedimented dormer heads in the outer blocks. There is also a car shed addition to the side of No 7.

The eastern elevation of No 1 features a door at the centre with small windows in the flanking bays and another window above. The windows throughout have small-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case style. The roofs are covered with purple slates, and there are coped ashlar and squared rubble stacks with cans.

The interiors were not seen in 2000.

The property includes pyramidally-coped, stop-chamfered ashlar gatepiers with a commemorative plaque that reads, "THE SCOTTISH VETERANS GARDEN CITY ASSOCIATION IN MEMORY OF THE FALLEN 1914-1918."
