Scope and Content Detail of the conservatory at Hafton House from the south-west, Argyll and Bute Originally, Hafton House was a late 18th-century mansion known as Orchard Park. It was bought around 1816 by James Hunter who had it transformed into a Tudor Gothic mansion by the architect David Hamilton (1768-1843). Other changes were made in the 1840s. The conservatory was added in 1840 at the south end of the east façade. It is five-bayed, each bay consisting of a glazed arch. There are octagonal crenellated angle-turrets, and inside the conservatory are iron columns with foliage capitals. David Hamilton practised from the 1790s. By 1809 he was interested in Gothic and Neo-Greek styles. By 1830, with his son James, he was experimenting with Scots Jacobean style. It is likely James was involved in the changes to Hafton House in 1840. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
