Scope and Content Inner Hall, Blairvadach House, Shore Road, Shandon, Rhu, Argyll & Bute Blairvadach House was designed c.1850 by the architect, John Thomas Rochead, for Sir James Anderson, Lord Provost of Glasgow (1848-51). This photograph of the entrance hall was taken in 1903 by the architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. The room, in a Jacobean style, has a magnificent chimneypiece with a huge, delicately detailed overmantel stretching to ceiling height. The walls are panelled, and an elaborately carved and pilastered arched screen (left) leads to the outer hall. The inner hall formed a comfortable, auxiliary sitting room, part of the male domain of the house where members of the family and their guests could meet informally. Its huge fireplace reflects the style of the great hall of large country house. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
