6 Albert Street Including Boundary Walls And Railings, Aberdeen

10 Albert Street, including boundary walls and railings, is a terrace of cottages built around 1840 by Archibald Simpson, with further construction by Mackenzie and Matthews starting in 1849 and completed after 1864. The terrace consists of single storey, attic, and basement, featuring 19 bays of 2-bay and 3-bay cottages made from coursed granite ashlar. The design includes a base course, stone steps leading to the doorways, pilastered timber doorways, and panelled timber doors, some of which are glazed and have letterbox fanlights. The principal floor door and window openings are corniced with consoles, and there is an eaves blocking course. The attic features gableted 3-light rectangular dormers.

On the northeast (principal) elevation, No 2 has a symmetrical design with regular fenestration in each bay and two dormers in the attic. Nos 4-16 show regular fenestration in the basement, with doorways to the left of the principal floor, flanked by a small window at Nos 10-16 and a window to the right. There are two dormers in the attic of Nos 4, 12, 14, and 16, while Nos 6-10 have a single dormer flanked by a skylight. No 18 features segmental-arched openings in the basement, with a doorway flanked by a small window to the left and windows in the two flanking bays to the right, along with two dormers in the attic.

The northwest elevation is gabled, with an off-centre window to the right on the ground floor. The southwest elevation shows Nos 2-10 as single storey with a basement and attic, featuring irregular fenestration and some canted windows on the principal floor, along with a variety of dormers in the attic. Nos 12-18 are two-storey with a basement, displaying canted windows across all floors, flanked by regular fenestration.

On the southeast elevation, there is a central door flanked by a window on the left and a blind opening on the right, with a round-arched window centered in the gablehead above, featuring impost and keystone detail. The windows are predominantly 4-pane timber sash and case, with No 18 having 12-pane windows. The roof is covered in grey slate with a lead ridge, and there are coped stone skews, gablehead, and ridge stacks with octagonal cans. The rainwater goods are made of cast iron and are recessed in the walls of the principal elevation.

The interior was not seen in 2000. The boundary walls consist of a low granite wall on the northeast with railings in places, and railings flanking the steps. The rear features brick coped rubble walls.
