1, 3, 5 George Street, Aberdeen

1, 3, 5 George Street in Aberdeen is a late 19th-century, narrow, three-storey and attic Classical commercial building located on a corner site, featuring a distinctive turreted corner bay. The building has three bays on the right (east elevation) and a single bay on the left (south elevation). It is constructed from finely tooled granite ashlar. The second floor has segmental-arched openings, while the attic features round-arched openings.

The corner entrance is flanked by moulded pilasters, with brackets supporting a cornice above the ground floor shops. There are cill courses on the first and second floors, as well as an eaves course. An engaged column is present at the first-floor corner, and the turret is corbelled out at the second and attic floors, topped with a fish-scale slated candle-snuffer roof and a weathervane finial.

Giant pilasters, which are fluted at the first floor and capped with urn finials, flank the corner bay at the first and second floors and extend along the east elevation. The second bay on the east elevation slightly projects and is pedimented. Above this, there is a narrow, single light dormer with a pyramidal roof, flanked by ornate ashlar-fronted bipartite dormers that have oversized panelled pediments.

The building features plate glass timber sash and case windows with horns, including curved glazing on the turret. The roof is mansard and covered with grey slate, featuring a broad gable end stack with clay cans and cast iron rainwater goods.
