description
Today's Port Charlotte Hotel consists of three originally independent, closed-style residential buildings. These were commissioned by Walter Frederick Campbell , the Laird of Islay, in 1829 as part of the development of Port Charlotte . In the late 19th century, the houses were then merged into one unit, expanded and optically adapted to the Victorian architecture . The hotel is located directly on Main Street and forms the corner building on Shore Street to the south . It is built on two floors, plastered and whitewashed and ends with a gable roof . At the back a wing goes off in an easterly direction. This is three-story, but because the site is sloping in this direction, it has the same gable height as the main building. Three hipped dormers point north. The roofs of both buildings are covered with slate shingles. The building has been expanded with several flat extensions over the years. It is currently used as a hotel, with ten rooms available. A restaurant and a bar are located on the ground floor.
