Description
60 and 62 Marischal Street in Aberdeen is a Classical commercial and residential building dating from around 1790 to 1821. It has two stories and an attic, featuring three bays and is situated on a sloping site. The building is constructed from grey granite ashlar and has an eaves band. The east elevation includes a substantial Roman-Doric pilastered doorpiece at No 62, located in the far left bay. The southeast corner bay is uniquely bowed, giving it the appearance of a drum tower, enhanced by a v-shaped indent on the south elevation and a broad semi-elliptical wallhead stack above.
The building features 12-pane timber sash and case windows throughout, with a regular arrangement of windows on the first floor. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there is a ridge stack on the right side, which has an ashlar facing to the street and red brick at the rear, with clay cans. The gable end has a coped ashlar stack and skew. The rainwater goods are recessed. At the rear, there is a five-storey section with regular fenestration, along with a later harled five-storey outshot to the central bay that has a piended roof.
