Statement of Interest

Spatially an important element in the old Shorehead area of Stonehaven's harbour, No 18 is situated adjacent to the three storey former warehouse which is now Aberdeen Yacht Club and is also a listed building. As an early domestic structure, the building retains interest in its distinctive massing as part of the streetscape viewed from across the harbour at the Old Pier. Although the windows were enlarged prior to original listing (in 1980), they were timber sash and case at that time. Then as now (2005) the subject is listed for its group value.
