description
The building group is built in a closed construction . It stretches 50 m along School Street . The coastline runs along the opposite side of the street, which is why there are no buildings there. The closed front points in a north-westerly direction over the bay of Port Ellen directly to the Port Ellen whiskey distillery, which is also listed . The houses are built in the typical local style of the early 19th century. They each have an upper floor and close with slate-covered gable roofs . Typical for the region, the facades are plastered with Harl . In September 2010, an application was granted to replace the highland slate shingles in house number 33 with Spanish slate shingles.
