Description

This building, located at 2 and 4 Seafield Road and 1-3 Seafield Place, was designed by John Paterson in 1813. It underwent alterations to the south section before 1850 and further modifications around 1880 to create a shop on the ground floor, along with additional internal and minor external changes in the early 20th century.

It is a two-storey classical building that was originally roughly U-shaped, situated on a prominent corner site. The structure features nearly identical five-bay elevations on the north and west sides, with a three-bay curved corner. Once known as Seafield Baths, it now houses a public house and flats. The exterior is finished in polished ashlar sandstone, with rusticated masonry on the outer bays of the ground floor. Architectural details include a base course, a band course that is corniced at the center bays, a moulded cill course for the first-floor windows, an eaves cornice, and a blocking course. The corniced parapet has a plain raised tablet and guttae beneath it. The first-floor windows are architraved and alternate between corniced and pedimented styles.

The entrances are located at the center of the symmetrical main elevations, featuring tripartite doorways set in recessed arches with flanking four-pane lights. Each entrance is adorned with fluted Roman Doric tetrastyle porches that have balustrades above. The porches are flanked by windows framed by Doric pilasters, with the bay to the right on Seafield Place converted into a doorway. The outer bays have round-arched openings set within ashlar recesses.

The windows are timber sash and case, featuring 12- and 14-pane glazing. The roof is piended with grey slate and has a ribbed leaded dome over the corner. There is a multi-flue ashlar wallhead stack.

The interior was not seen in 2013. The property also includes a dwarf wall along the street topped with ashlar coping and iron railings, along with cast-iron gatepiers that have pineapple finials.
