Scope and Content View of ante-room in Kilmory Castle, Argyll and Bute In 1816, Kilmory Castle, which had 18th-century origins, consisted of a rectangular house with a central wing. This was incorporated into a Tudor Gothic mansion built for Sir John Powlett Orde between 1828 and 1836, which was again extended in 1860-78. The ante-room is situated between two rooms (originally drawing rooms) and the staircase. Three of the walls have two four-centred arches each. Four-centred arches have four arcs, two springing from centres on the springing line, the others from below it. The spandrels between the arch and rectangular hood-mould, above each arch, are traceried. The rib-vaulted ceiling springs from corbels in the corners, the one to the left bearing a female head. The architect was Joseph Gordon Davis. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
