Aberdeen, Woolmanhill, Former Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, Mount Stephen (Former Medical And Pathology Block)

The former Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, specifically the Mount Stephen Medical and Pathology Block, was designed by W & J Smith and Kelly, with H Saxon Snell as a consultant, and completed in 1896. This four-storey building features a central block with pedimented gabled ends, flanked by three-storey recessed wings. It has a rectangular plan and is nearly symmetrical, constructed of coursed granite. The central block has an advanced pedimented single-bay center and two-bay ends, connected by balconies supported on steel beams with a stamped motif, along with interwar timber and glazing. The advanced ends feature a string course between the ground and first floors, and an eaves course at the third floor, with an attic creating a blocking course above. The south gable is bowed and has a three-bay design, with a date stone and hoodmoulding located at the second floor of the street elevation. Late 20th-century stair towers flank the central section on the courtyard (west) elevation.

The building predominantly has a lozenge pattern over six-pane glazing in timber frames and is topped with a slate roof, featuring gable and ridge coped stacks.

The interior, last seen in 2013, includes wards and rooms accessed from a central corridor, with a staircase at the center. It features predominantly panelled timber doors set within shallow-arched openings, round-arched windows in the stairwell with pivot windows, and original windows on the balconies.
