The associated 'Marine Building' (built by 1937) was occupied as offices by Caledonian MacBrayne on the date of visit. The site was photographed as it was in use, but not for ferry services.

The Maritime Buildings are of some significance; they are a convincing essay in the Art Deco stylke, even through the design had been carried out with economy in mind and without the guiding hand of an identifiable architect. The building is rather less unchnaged than has been claimed. Some of the original construction elements have had to be replaced due to deterioration from the espoed, aggressive environment in which the structure is located.

This structure was demolished in c. 2007.
