Factor's House and Estate Office, 1880, in familiar Barham style, replacing the early 19th-century farmhouse. The great barn, 1851, (now much altered) was almost certainly built as a wool barn; now used as a salmon hatchery. Pierced with lancet windows, it rises above the river like a Romanesque church, formerly comprising: "Barn, Byre and Stable, with Dairy and Cheese store on the ground floor of the near end, and with sleeping accommodation above". Creating a U-plan in matching style, the parallel coach house and stables, 1871-2, was Barham's first concrete building at Ardtornish. Cattle court, 1890, also of concrete.
