Regent House, 36 Regent Quay, Aberdeen

Regent House, located at 36 Regent Quay in Aberdeen, is a Baroque commercial building designed by Alexander Marshall Mackenzie in 1898. This four-storey, three-bay structure features a shallow bowed front on the first floor and is richly detailed in Classical style. It is constructed from polished grey granite ashlar and includes moulded architraves, a rusticated base course, and chamfered quoins on the ground and first floors.

The central entrance, which has a keystone, is flanked by fixed-pane windows. Scrolled brackets support a bowed cornice, and there is a curved balustrade between the first and second floors. The third and fourth storeys are highlighted by a central pedimented section with four engaged columns that divide the bays, and this section is flanked by stone urns. Garland swags separate the third and fourth storeys, and there is a dentilled pediment with an oculus. A fine stained glass stair window is located at the canted northeast corner bay on the east elevation.

The building features non-traditional stained timber sash and case windows and a grey slate roof. There is also a long, narrow extension added to the rear in the late 20th century.

Inside, the entrance hall is adorned with full-height hardwood panelling and a decorative cornice, although the rest of the interior has been comprehensively modernised.
