Description

No 1 North Square in Footdee is a two-storey house with an attic, built between 1808 and 1809 by John Smith, with later additions. It is the end house of a terraced row on the north side of North Square. The building is mainly constructed of coursed granite rubble with some snecking, featuring pink granite dressings. The upper floors have raised cills and quoins, and there is an ashlar eaves band. The tall piended dormers extend above the eaves.

The entrance door is non-traditional and located slightly to the left of center. The house has four-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof, coped gable-end stacks, and ashlar skews and skewputs, along with clay cans. The rainwater goods are made of cast iron.
