Description
The National Dock Labour Offices, located at Blaikie's Quay in Aberdeen, were built in the late 19th century. This single-storey building features a symmetrical design with three bays and distinctive curved gables on the outer bays, each with deep-set central oculi. The exterior is constructed from rock-faced grey and pink granite, accented with polished dressings, and includes a base course. The central entrance consists of a six-panel timber door topped by a polychromatic semi-circular arch and a wide-stepped gable. The windows are tripartite with stone mullions and predominantly consist of timber sash and case designs. The roof is covered with grey slate and clay ridge tiles, and there are gable stacks and cast iron rainwater goods.
The interior was not seen in 2006 but is understood to have been modernized throughout.
