Stewart Hall (Isle of Bute)
Stewart Hall , also Stewarthall , is a mansion on the Scottish island of Bute . It is located near the west coast about four kilometers southwest of Rothesay , the main town on the island. In 1971 Stewart Hall was inducted into the Scottish Monuments List in the highest category A.
history
The building was commissioned by the eccentric clergyman James Stewart , the laird of the surrounding lands. Construction probably began in 1760 and the building was completed in the same decade. Over the years the owner of the property changed several times. Today Stewart Hall is privately owned. Some parts of the building have been converted and an annex is now a holiday home.
description
The two-story building has the architectural features of Palladianism . The central entrance area emerges from the front and ends with a triangular gable . This motif is taken up again in the crowning of the entrance door. On both sides, lattice windows in twelve elements run in two vertical axes. The facades are plastered in the traditional style with Harl , from which the corner stones made of gray sandstone stand out on the building edges. The building ends with a slate-covered hip roof . There are one-story outbuildings on both sides of the main building. A quarry stone wall surrounds the property.
