Scope and Content View of the garden front of Ardpatrick House from the west, Argyll and Bute Ardpatrick had been the seat of the MacAlisters of Loup throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. The existing house was built in 1769 for Angus MacAlister by the master-mason John Menelaws and his brother Thomas, from Greenock. The west front has a gabled centrepiece with a moulded cornice which returns at wall-head level to indicate a pediment. Much of the wall is hidden by a late 19th-/early 20th-century addition whose roof forms a balustraded balcony. The ground-floor windows may have been re-set as a result of this addition and are not in alignment with the windows on the first floor. A doorway has been inserted into the centrepiece.
