Scope and Content View of ceiling and central lantern at Hafton House, Argyll and Bute Originally, Hafton House was a late 18th-century mansion known as Orchard Park. It was bought around 1816 by James Hunter who had it transformed into a Tudor Gothic mansion by the architect David Hamilton (1768-1843). Other changes were made in the 1840s. One of the changes made internally in 1840 was the new stair hall. Its double stair was surmounted by an elaborate ribbed ceiling with a circular lantern and a shallow dome. The interior of the house, including the stair hall, is Gothic in style. David Hamilton practised from the 1790s. By 1809 he was interested in Gothic and Neo-Greek styles. By 1830, with his son James, he was experimenting with Scots Jacobean style. It is likely James was involved in the changes to Hafton House in 1840. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
