Statement of Interest

A particularly fine example of a tenement built during Campbeltown?s prosperity at the turn of the century, reflected in the quality of the construction and materials, similar to other buildings in Dell Road built by the Campbeltown architect and builder James Weir between 1887 and 1900.
