Stonehaven Coastal Radio Station

The Stonehaven Coastal Radio Station, built in 1956 and extended in 1976, was closed in 1999. This single-storey, flat-roofed radio station features a two-stage operating room designed to resemble an airport control tower, with a battered polygonal ribbon window. The building has a red brick base course and is finished with dry-dash, highlighted by a raised ashlar doorway and concrete cills.

On the south elevation, the polygonal shape is accentuated by a vertically-aligned multi-pane window that wraps around the end of the building, with a much-reduced set-back polygonal second stage that is also glazed. The west elevation, which serves as the entrance, has a 10-bay design with bays grouped 1-9. The symmetrical bays on the right feature a broad two-leaf timber door with a fanlight at the center and regularly spaced windows in the flanking bays. The outer left bay is advanced and includes another door, a large cowl air vent, and a datestone with a crown and '1956' in high relief.

The east elevation has advanced bays on the left, including a lower bay with two broad full-height windows and a bay to the right that contains a horizontal row of small lights near the wallhead. Set-back bays to the right have a raised boiler room roof.

The interior retains the operating room, which includes a timber and glass partitioned inner room that reflects the polygonal outer viewing area. There is a part-glazed paired swing door and a deep plate glass fanlight at the main entrance, along with glass brick roof lights and a reinforced sliding metal door leading to the boiler room.
