7 Albert Terrace Including Boundary Walls And Railings, Aberdeen

6 Albert Terrace, built by Archibald Simpson around 1840, is a single storey and attic terrace with a basement for Nos 1-13. It consists of a 72-bay terrace made up of 34 two-bay and three-bay cottages. The cottages are constructed from tooled Aberdeen bond granite rubble for Nos 1-31 and tooled coursed granite ashlar for Nos 32-34 and 1 Prince Arthur Street. The design features a base course, stone steps leading to pilastered doors—some adorned with fretwork timber lintels and letterbox fanlights. The doorways are corniced with consoles, and the windows of Nos 1, 14-18, 20, 21, 26-28, 31, 33, and 34 also feature cornices with consoles. Ground floor windows have panelled aprons, and the buildings display long and short quoins, an eaves course, and predominantly canted dormers in the attic, with some later additions.

On the north (principal) elevation, there is regular fenestration at the basement level. Nos 1, 9, 10, 13, 19, 20-25, 28, and 32 are two-bay cottages with doorways flanked by single windows on the principal floor. Nos 8, 16, 31, and 33 are three-bay cottages with a central doorway flanked by windows. Nos 2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 11-12, 14-15, 17-18, 26-27, and 29-30 are four-bay mirrored pairs of two-bay cottages with pairs of doorways in the centre flanked by windows. No 34 is a two-bay cottage with a window in each bay.

The west elevation at 1 Prince Arthur Street is three-bay with a gabled design, featuring a central doorway flanked by windows and a blind window set in the gablehead above. The south elevation shows a variety of modern additions, including door and window openings, along with dormers in the attic. The east elevation is gabled, partly harled, with an outer right angle curving to the principal elevation, which includes a curved window.

The windows throughout are predominantly two-pane and four-pane timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate and features a lead ridge, with terracotta on No 34/1 Prince Arthur Street. The building has coped stone skews, corniced gablehead and ridge stacks with octagonal and circular cans, and cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen in 2000. The boundary walls consist of low granite walls topped with iron railings on the principal elevation, while the rear features coped rubble walls.
