Scope and Content View of principal façade of Asknish House from south-south-west, Argyll and Bute Asknish House was built for Robert Campbell of Asknish, sheriff-depute of Argyll. It was probably built between 1783 and 1787, as there are no records of window tax being paid at that time and its architectural features are consistent with that period. The house has been left almost unaltered since its construction. It consists of a three-storeyed block with an advanced centrepiece both to the front and the rear of the building. The principal façade is built of squared rubble with sandstone dressings. There are pilasters, or shallow rectangular columns, projecting slightly from the wall, at the ends of the centrepiece and at the corners of the building. The pilasters are surmounted with Tuscan-style capitals. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
