12, 14, 16 Market Square, Stonehaven

12, 14, and 16 Market Square in Stonehaven is an early 19th-century building featuring a 1920s shopfront. It is a three-storey and attic structure with six bays on the ground and second floors, designed as a finely detailed terraced shop and small tenement located on a corner site. The building is constructed from granite ashlar and has a battered base course. A fascia runs over the ground floor and continues at the gable and first floor, with an eaves course that also serves as a band course at the gable. Notably, there is a voussoired Venetian window.

On the principal elevation, there is a full-width scroll-consoled fascia over the ground floor shop, which features deep-set doors—one with two leaves in bay five and the other in bay one with a mosaic-tiled step. The shopfront includes bevelled glazing with beaded oval and curved astragals beneath a deep plate glass fanlight, flanked by curved lights in bays one and five. The remaining bays have fixed plate glass windows. The first floor has three broad tripartite windows, which replaced six original windows, along with another full-width fascia that has a moulded cornice, good lettering, and decorative details featuring four mutule wreath panels. The second floor has six regularly spaced single windows and three polygonal-roofed canted dormers above.

The elevation facing Evan Street is a three-bay design with a shop door (as described above) that retains some mosaic tiles on the doorstep in the right bay at ground level. To the left, there are two fixed display windows and a further narrow curved window at the outer right angle. The upper floors have regular fenestration, with a blind Venetian window in the gablehead.

The windows feature a 12-pane glazing pattern in timber sash and case style, while the tripartite windows on the east side have plate glass glazing with top lights. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped granite stacks with cans, as well as granite-coped skews. A shared cast-iron downpipe with a decorative rainwater hopper is located to the right on the east elevation.
