Scope and Content View of Barr House from the north-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 was built in the Gothic Revival style. The blocks have battlemented parapets, some with angle-turrets which are decorated with crockets, or projecting spurs of stone in leaf shapes. Below the turrets are buttresses. 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.
