Scope and Content View of Barr House from west, Argyll and Bute Barr House was originally a rectangular two-storeyed block dating to the third quarter of the 18th century and typical of a small laird's house of this period. In 1815 a west wing was added and in 1844 the house was extended with a court of offices. This west wing, which is the block on the left, is in the Gothic Revival style. The other blocks form the later court of offices which was built in the same style. All the blocks have battlemented parapets and the lower three have angle finials. It is thought James Gillespie Graham (1777-1855) was responsible for the design of the west wing. He was a Scottish architect who became well-known for his designs of irregular, or asymmetrical, Gothic houses in Scotland. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
