Alexandra Hotel, Barclay Street, Stonehaven

The Alexandra Hotel, located on Barclay Street in Stonehaven, dates from around 1830. This three-storey building features a five-bay ground floor and a four-bay upper level. Originally a hotel, it has been converted into a public house with flats on the first and second floors. The building is part of an irregular terrace and has an arcaded ground floor made of channelled ashlar. The exterior is finished in whitewashed ashlar, with some painted margins on the east side. It has a bracketed cornice at the ground floor, as well as band and eaves courses. The ground floor includes voussoired round-arched openings.

On the west (principal) elevation, the ground floor features a panelled timber door with a two-part semicircular fanlight to the left of centre, accompanied by a window to the outer left. There are two closely-aligned, slightly smaller windows in the centre and right bays, and another panelled timber door with a three-part semicircular fanlight to the outer right, all beneath a plain fascia. The first and second floors each have four windows.

The east (rear) elevation is asymmetrically fenestrated, with an altered ground floor and two small bipartite windows on the first floor.

The building has timber sash and case windows with a four-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are broad, coped ashlar stacks with a full complement of clay cans, as well as ashlar-coped skews.

Inside, the ground floor bar features decorative plasterwork cornicing.
