Almost every town has one, an 'eyesore' which must surely be knocked down right away lest it deflate house prices, drive tourists away, bring on the apocalypse, etc.
This is Oban's, the Argyll Hotel. http://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/Article.aspx/1287733?UserKey=
Some nice period details inside, but a lot of them have been blotted out by insensitive modernisation
It is in a pretty bad way, but only through what seems like wilful neglect to a characterful old building.
I bet the "boutique hotel" that replaces it will be much more of a blot...
