The building was commissioned to replace the old town house on Front Street which dated from 1755 and which had been deemed too small. The original plans for the new building had called for a courthouse and three prisons, one for males, one for females and one for debtors, but the scheme was deemed too expensive and was curtailed. However, by the mid-20th century the courthouse had become dilapidated and, in 1954, a order was made that there should be no more sheriff court hearings at Inveraray. Police and Justice of the Peace Court hearings continued for a while but, in 1962, Argyll County Council sold the courthouse. The courthouse complex at Inveraray was refurbished to a design by Ian Gordon Lindsay & Partners in 1965 and converted into a visitor attraction as "Inveraray Jail" in May 1989 #inveraray #argyll #scotland #abplace2b
