Description
The Auction House on Seafield Street in Cullen was designed by D and J R McMillan, architects from Aberdeen, in 1900. This building features a Gothic style and fronts an earlier Free Church dated 1843, which has its east gable facing Reidhaven Street. The exterior is constructed of bull-faced rubble with polished and tooled ashlar dressings.
The entrance is centrally recessed and moulded, approached by a flight of steps. It has an ogee hoodmould and is flanked by small cusped three-light windows. Above the entrance is a substantial nine-light window with geometric tracery, also hoodmoulded. On either side of the building, there are gallery stair projections, and to the right, a three-stage tower rises, topped with a lucarned steeple. This tower features paired louvred openings and clock faces in the upper stage, along with angle pinnacles. The roofs are covered with slate.
At the rear, there is a plain rectangular block that was formerly the 1843 church. Inside, the space has been adapted for auction room use, with benches and the pulpit removed.
