Scope and Content View of dining room in Strachur House, Argyll and Bute Strachur House, a provincial Classical house, was built by General John Campbell to replace an earlier residence at Succothmore, and was at first known as Strachur Park. It appears to date from the 1780s and was first assessed for window tax in 1785. The dining room occupies the central bow on the north-east front of the house. The door from the hall opens into a screened area, with two free-standing timber columns with moulded bases and leaf-ornamented capitals, with matching respond-pilasters The ceiling is plain with a plaster frieze. The walls are covered with a hand-painted Chinese wallpaper of 18th-century type which is decorated with flowering shrubs, butterflies, birds and cages. The doors are of six-panelled design.
