34 Albert Street, Kirkwall

34 Albert Street in Kirkwall is a late 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay shop tenement featuring gothic details. The building has a symmetrical rectangular plan, with polished sandstone ashlar at the ground floor and squared rubble with polished and tooled sandstone ashlar dressings on the first floor. The sides are finished in random rubble. Notable architectural features include an aproned base course, a cornice course between the floors, and wrought-iron window box holders on the outer first-floor windows. The eaves are corniced.

On the principal (west) elevation, there is a trefoil-finialled gabled entrance adorned with acanthus leaf consoles over the doorway and flanking nook shafts. The gablehead features an inscription reading 'SE DEUS NOBISCUM'. Modern wrought-iron guards cover the two-leaf timber panelled doors, with a window situated above on the first floor. The ground floor has a large shop window, with a corresponding window above in the bays on either side.

The ground floor has modern shop windows, while the first floor features two-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered in grey slate, with a stone ridge, stone skews, and bracketed and gabletted skewputts. The gablehead stacks at the north and south ends are corniced rubble, and the building has cast-iron rainwater goods with decorative downpipe brackets.

The interior of the ground floor is a modern shop, while the upper levels remain unseen and were last noted as being altered in 1998.
