Sale number: 629&nbsp; In February 2021, we were delighted to present a selection of property from Archbald Moffatt House in our Five Centuries: Furniture, Paintings &amp; Works of Art auction. Archbald Moffatt House, in Moffat, Dumfries and Galloway, was built in 1751, and is a rare survivor that predates Moffat’s redevelopment in the latter part of the 18th century as Scotland’s most significant spa town. At the time the house was built Moffat was at the height of its fame. Archbald Moffatt was a weaver and Kirk Elder, and the vernacular two-storey-plus-attic townhouse he built on a prominent part of Townhead, on what was then called the Kings Highway, reflected the social standing and occupation of the owner. The reason the house escaped demolition and redevelopment was because, unlike most of the town, it was not part of the Annandale Estate which came under the control of the 2nd Earl of Hopetoun in 1758. The house and its outbuildings have undergone few changes since their construction having had three owner-occupiers since 1751, the building being let from the late 18th century until 1986. In recent years the house has undergone a program of sympathetic restoration and conservation, and its interiors furnished to reflect the period origins of the property.
