Description

90 Queen's Road in Aberdeen is a villa designed by George Coutts around 1905. This two-storey building with an attic features three bays and showcases Gothic architectural elements with half-timbered detailing. The exterior is primarily constructed of rough-faced coursed grey granite, with finely finished margins on the southeast elevation, while the rest is made of Aberdeen bond granite rubble. The design includes dividing string courses, mock half-timber gables with dentil cornices beneath, and timber bargeboards.

The southeast elevation is asymmetrical, featuring a gabled bay on the left and a broad six-light bay window on the ground floor, which is flanked by two stone brackets that support a stepped first floor. The center has a quadripartite window, and a tripartite window is set in the gablehead. The central gabled bay has a buttress at the ground floor, flanked by bipartite pointed-arched windows with lunette windows above and pointed-arched hoodmoulds, with metal grills below each. A quadripartite window is present on the first floor, along with another tripartite window in the gablehead, and a gabled quadripartite window in the attic between the gables. To the right, there is a gabled porch at the re-entrant angle, featuring a pointed-arched doorway with decorative moulded reveals and stone steps leading to a two-leaf panelled timber door. The first floor has a recessed bipartite window in the center, with a deeply chamfered outer right angle and a window in the center, topped with a corbelled out crenellated parapet and a gableted dormer in the attic.

The northeast elevation is also asymmetrical, with a gabled design. It features a tripartite window with a relieving arch on the left side of the ground floor, a stained glass bipartite window above it, and a doorway to the right, flanked by small windows. There is a variety of windows above this section, with a wing adjoining to the right.

The northwest elevation has an advanced wing to the left, while the remainder was not visible in 2000. The southwest elevation is gabled.

The villa predominantly has timber casement windows with leaded and stained glass upper panes. The gablehead, wallhead, and ridge stacks are corniced and coped, with circular cans. The rainwater goods are cast iron with decorative hoppers.

The interior was not seen in 2000. The property also features gatepiers and boundary walls made of rough-faced granite square-plan gatepiers, with a low stugged granite wall between them, and brick and granite coped rubble walls for the remainder.
