Description
Union Chambers, located at 46-50 Union Street in Aberdeen, is a three-storey and attic Classical tenement building, likely designed by Archibald Simpson in 1811. The building features six bays and has shops on the ground floor, which have been altered. Above the ground floor, there is a cornice, a band course, and a deep cornice above the second storey. The windows on the first storey have raised, moulded architraves and cornices. The attic storey is marked by a deep parapet with paired attic windows on the left and right, and there are stepped and coped wallhead stacks above. A plaque in the centre of the attic is engraved with the words 'UNION CHAMBERS'.
The building predominantly has plate glass timber sash and case windows, with plate glass used for the shops. There are gable stacks as well.
The interior was not fully examined during the resurvey in 2006, but it is believed to have been extensively altered.
