Description
This is a mid-to-late 19th-century warehouse situated close to the harbour in Gardenstown. The building, originally designed to face the sea, is a tall, three-storey and attic structure with five bays on its north (seaward) elevation. The southern (street) elevation is lower, displaying only one storey and an attic due to the hillside location, and has six bays. It is constructed of rubble with dressed grey granite.
The north elevation is symmetrical on the first and second floors, with a centrally positioned pedestrian doorway flanked to the right by a wide, segmental-headed entrance suitable for sliding doors. The street elevation features an off-centre entrance flanked by a small oriel window and with a canted dormer above. Five small, rectangular vents are located at the base of the building, providing light for the ground-floor store. Most windows contain 12 panes of glass. The roof is slate-covered with coped end stacks. The building is referenced in John Hume's The Industrial Archaeology of Scotland (1977, p. 176).
