Temperance Hotel
The Temperance Hotel is a former hotel operation near the shores of Loch Fyne in the Scottish town of Inveraray , opposite the jetty. It's the corner house between Front Street and Main Street . Today it is used as a residential building.
Historic Scotland specifies the late 18th century as the building period. However, since large parts of the city center of the planned city of Inveraray, including the surrounding buildings, were built in the 1770s, it is reasonable to assume that the former Temperance Hotel was also completed in this decade. The original plans by the architect Robert Mylne for this street are in the possession of the Dukes of Argyll . In 1966 the Temperance Hotel was included in the Scottish List of Monuments in the highest category A.
description
The two-story house has typical features of the simple Georgian architecture . It is entered through a small porch protruding from the middle of the front, which ends with a gable roof . This does not correspond to the original condition of the building and was added later. The entrance area is symmetrically surrounded by lattice windows in three axes. Three on the front and a dormer on the back with hipped roofs light up the living rooms in the attic. All facades are plastered using the traditional Harling technique and the roofs are covered with slate shingles.
