Caretaker's House, North Esplanade West, Aberdeen

The Caretaker's House, located on North Esplanade West in Aberdeen, was built by John Bisset & Sons around 1937. This three-storey and attic, three-bay Free Style house stands at the front of the former Aberdeen Mineral Water Company factory. It is constructed from finely finished, tooled coursed grey granite, with detailed margins. Notable architectural features include moulded band and cill courses, keystone details on the windows, and an eaves cornice.

The southeast elevation is near-symmetrical and features a broken curvilinear gable. At the center of the ground floor is a panelled two-leaf timber door with a geometric fanlight above, flanked by a three-light window on the left and a large vehicular doorway on the right. The first floor has a two-light triangular-plan oriel window in the center, with pairs of windows on either side. The second floor showcases three round-arched bipartite windows that are symmetrically placed, featuring exaggerated entasis on the central column mullions and truncated pilasters with blocked label stops that break the eaves, topped with spherical finials. A round-arched window with Y-tracery is located at the center of the attic floor, with a flagpole next to it, and the gable above is stepped up and finished with a spherical finial.

The northeast, northwest, and southwest elevations are obscured by adjacent buildings. The windows are predominantly five-pane and fifteen-pane timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate and features a tiled ridge, with corniced stone skews and cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen in 1999.
