Statement of Significance
The former Scottish House was designed for the prominent shipping agents McIlwraith McEacharn Ltd in 1907 by CharlesA D'Ebro. It is a stone faced building in a restrained revived Renaissance manner with fine detailing in the masonry of the facade and unusual for the dual entries which lead separately to the main ground floor chamber or to the lift and staircase which serves the upper floors. The interior is an important example of office planning which impressively fits its original brief. The columned main chamber and the stair forming a ring around the central light court form notable spaces. The building forms part of a considered and sympathetic streetscape.
