Description
Riverside House, located at 244 Market Street in Aberdeen, is a single-storey, rectangular-plan classical former tramshed, built around 1905, possibly by Arthur Clyne. The building is situated on a prominent corner site and features coursed grey rough-faced granite that is finely finished at the margins. It has a rough-faced pink granite base course, moulded lintels above the windows, and finely finished pink granite pilastered bays, along with a pink granite eaves course and cornice, and an eaves blocking course.
The northwest elevation, which is the principal facade, is symmetrical and includes a large pink granite, stop-chamfered, round-arched tram entrance at the center, complete with a hoodmould and decorative paired label stops. This entrance is flanked on both sides by pilasters that support a simple pediment adorned with pink granite dressings.
The northeast and southeast elevations are obscured by late 20th-century additions. The southwest elevation is near-symmetrical and features six pilastered bays with regular window arrangements. Notably, the cill of the window on the outer right has been dropped to the base course. There is a doorway in the outer left bay that has a modern two-leaf door, with a plaque to the right reading "RIVERSIDE HOUSE."
The building has replacement small-pane glazing and a lead roof, with coped stone skews. The interior is currently undergoing alterations as of 1999.
