1-3 Belmont Street, Aberdeen

1 and 3 Belmont Street are prominent commercial buildings from the early 19th century, while 7 Denburn Road is possibly designed by Archibald Simpson in the mid-19th century. These buildings are linked internally and feature contrasting elevations facing Belmont Street and Denburn Road, situated on steeply sloping ground.

The Belmont Street elevation is a 3-storey and attic, 4-bay Classical commercial structure built of grey granite ashlar. It has a base course and a band course between the ground and first floors. The ground floor features tall round-arched openings for the Public House, with fixed-pane glazing and ornamental cast-iron railings. There are steps leading to a slightly recessed 2-leaf door in the far right bay, topped with a fixed-pane fanlight. The first and second floors have regular fenestration that returns to a curved bay at the southeast corner, which includes a pair of canted tripartite dormers.

The Denburn Road elevation is a 5-storey, 4-bay flat-roofed addition to the earlier Belmont Street building. It is constructed of roughly squared and coursed granite rubble with irregular Aberdeen Bond snecking, featuring raised cills and a projecting band cornice. The ground floor has a pair of broad, round-arched openings, with round-arched openings on the first floor and regular fenestration on the upper floors. This elevation returns to a single bay on the south side and has predominantly blind openings on the north side.

Throughout the buildings, there are mainly 4-pane timber sash and case windows. The Belmont Street side has a grey slate, pitched roof with a curving ashlar skew at the southeast corner, and gable end stacks with clay cans. The buildings also feature cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior has been extensively altered, as seen in 2006.
