Description
The Canteen Building at Stoneywood Mill, dating from around 1901, is a predominantly single-storey and attic structure with a rectangular plan and nine bays. It features swept pyramidal-roofed end bays that break the eaves at each corner, situated on an elevated site to the west, overlooking the paper mill. The building is constructed from Aberdeen bond, tooled ashlar granite, with stone cills, a cill course, and roughly squared granite with tooled dressings on the north and west elevations. Extensive linear rooflights are present on the east and west elevations.
On the east elevation, there is an advanced piended roof entrance porch located off-centre to the left, which has a replacement door on the right return. The south elevation includes a two-storey, two-bay shaped and coped gable at the centre, featuring a corbelled wallhead stack, flanked by advanced lower pyramidal-roofed bays. A cill course runs along the ground and first floors.
The north elevation has a four-bay central section with a full-width box dormer, and a two-storey pavilion to the right, which also has a cill course at the first floor. The building predominantly features a 12-pane glazing pattern in timber sash and case windows. The mansard roof is covered with grey slates, with pyramidal swept roofs on the end bays topped with decorative finials. The roof also includes linear rooflights, terracotta ridge tiles, and ventilators at the ridge.
Inside, as observed in 2012, there is a timber dog-leg staircase in the southeast corner, adorned with an elaborate cast-iron balustrade. The first floor features painted timber boarding and a moulded dado rail, along with hinged ventilator panels below the roof lights. Some later subdivision of the interior has occurred.
