Description
This early 19th century two-storey, four-bay tenement at 249 Holburn Street, Aberdeen, features a rectangular plan and is constructed from random granite rubble with tooled long and short dressings. The building has long and short quoins, projecting cills, and an eaves course.
The west elevation, which serves as the entrance, is symmetrical. It includes a panelled timber door with a two-pane fanlight at the center of the ground floor, flanked by single windows on either side, with additional windows in the outer left and right bays. The first floor has four regularly placed windows. The attic features two single-pane modern skylights in the center, with canted piend-roofed dormers on the outer sides, and there are regularly placed ventilators.
The south elevation is gabled and blank. The east elevation is also symmetrical, with a stair window centered between the ground and first floors, two windows set in the gable breaking the eaves above, and regular fenestration for the rest of the elevation. The north elevation is gabled and blank.
The building predominantly has replacement 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with graded grey slate and has a tiled ridge, with stone skews and coped wallhead stacks that have circular cans. The rainwater goods are made of cast iron. The interior was not seen in 1999.
