The former Grimsby Chambers is a distinctive and striking building on a prominent corner site which uses a variety of architectural detailing from diverse architectural styles by a local firm of architects. The building has a wide variety of window openings, including Venetian, round arched and canted bay and these, together with the ogival corner dome, ensure that the building makes a significant contribution to the streetscape.
Cameron & Watt were an Aberdeen-based practice, whose output consisted mainly of smaller, private dwelling houses.
