16 Rubislaw Den North Including Boundary Walls And Gatepiers, Aberdeen

16 Rubislaw Den North in Aberdeen is a double villa built in 1906 by John Henderson. It has two stories and an attic, featuring four bays. The southern elevation is made of finely finished, tooled coursed grey granite, while the rest of the building is constructed from coursed rubble. The design includes a rough-faced base course, projecting cills, a dividing string course, overhanging eaves, half-timbered details on the gableheads, and timber bargeboards.

The principal elevation is symmetrical, consisting of two mirrored houses with two gabled bays at the center. It features 3-light canted windows with parapets that form balconies on the first floor, tripartite windows on the first floor, and bipartite windows in the gablehead of the attic floor. There are segmental-arched, chamfered doorways on the outer left and right at the ground floor, with panelled two-leaf timber doors and fanlights above. Narrow segmental-arched windows flank the outer left and right sides with chamfered reveals, while a single window is present on the first floor, along with a gableted dormer in the attic.

The eastern elevation has a gabled design with a two-storey wing adjoining to the right. The northern elevation was not visible in 2000, and the western elevation is also gabled with a two-storey wing adjoining to the left. The building predominantly features timber sash and case windows, some of which have decorative upper panes on the first and attic floors of the southern elevation. The roof is covered with grey slate and has lead ridges, with gablehead and ridge stacks that have circular cans, as well as cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen in 2000. The gatepiers and boundary walls consist of square-plan piers on the southern side, topped with shallow pyramidal caps, and low coped walls between them, with rubble walls making up the remainder.
