Description

The former Aberdeen Iron Works, located at the junction of Wellington Street and St Clement Street, is a large commercial building from the late 19th century, measuring 16 by 20 bays. The west elevation, facing Wellington Street, features a distinctive run of five gables. The exterior is constructed from coursed, snecked granite rubble and includes regularly spaced segmental-arched openings, some of which have been infilled. Notable details include cyma recta corbel features at the corners on the north and west sides. The building has large two-leaf timber sliding doors on both the east and west elevations, and there is a 20th-century gabled roof extension on the east side.

Inside, the space is open and features a steel-framed structure. There are remnants of rail tracks visible on the floor. The upper storey predominantly has 12-pane metal windows, while the lower storey openings have been infilled.
