86 Union Terrace at the junction with Union Street. The imposing building on the left is the Northern Assurance Building (Commercial Union Assurance), designed by A. Marshall Mackenzie and known locally as "The Monkey House". The statue of Prince Albert was relocated to the other end of Union Terrace to make space for the new statue of King Edward VII in 1914. Queen's Cross
90 Queen's Cross, Aberdeen, looking west. Rubislaw Church (architect J. Russell Mackenzie) 1875, is on the right. The structure in the centre of the street was part of the tramways system and was later removed to Hazlehead Park. Marischal College, University of Aberdeen
186 Marischal College, University of Aberdeen, Broad Street. The front of Marischal College as seen on this postcard was built between 1903 and 1906 and designed by Alexander Marshall MacKenzie. At the right are the tower of the North Church (converted to the Arts Centre) and the spire of Greyfriars Church. Rubislaw Terrace
236 James Skene of Rubislaw was responsible for this fine row of town houses situated in the west end of the city. The houses, now mostly all offices, alternate in pairs. The original plan of design in 1852 was by James Giles, artist, and Messrs. MacKenzie and Matthews, architects. The street still retains a dignified appearance with some attractive architectural features and elevations. Rubislaw Church, Queen's Cross in the wintertime.
240 Rubislaw Church, Queen's Cross in the wintertime. Rubislaw Church was built in 1875 by architect J. Russell Mackenzie. Harbour Office
291 A photograph of the building understood to have served as the Harbour Office from 1837 to 1885. It was replaced by the 4-storey harbour offices, designed by A. Marshall Mackenzie, and built on Regent Quay between 1883 and 1885.
This older office is thought to have stood at the foot of Marischal Street, to the north west of Regent Bridge, just above the harbour's Upper Dock. Gaelic Chapel, Belmont Street
322 The Gaelic Chapel was founded in the 18th century in response to the increasing numbers of Highlanders who came to the city in search of work.
At first, they held services in the East Church of St. Nicholas but, in the 1790s, they obtained ground in the area between Belmont Street and Back Wynd, now known as Gaelic Lane.
The opening services in the new church were conducted on 30th August 1795. In 1843, at the Disruption, the whole congregation followed their minister, Rev. Hugh Mackenzie, into the Free Church.
By 1882, the church had become old and dilapidated and needed so much renovation that the congregation decided to move. The property was disposed of and was used as a printing office by G. & W. Fraser for a number of years.
The congregation moved to a church on Dee Street which had become vacant on the disbanding of the United Free Methodists and it was named St. Columba United Free Church.
In 1907, they amalgamated with the High United Free Church and moved to their church at the junction of Belmont Street and Schoolhill.
Comparing the scene shown here and large scale historic maps suggests that this is likely a view of the rear of the Gaelic Chapel buildings, looking north, potentially taken from the back of a building on Union Street. Dwelling House on Queens Cross
377 Dwelling House on Queens Cross designed by Russell Mackenzie for the celebrated photographer George Washington Wilson. 1865. This was only the second house to appear on the circle. The Douglas Hotel, Market Street
411 The Douglas Hotel on Market Street. Built 1848. Building in current form designed by A. Marshall Mackenzie 1937. Harbour Office, Aberdeen Harbour
468 Harbour Office, Regent Quay, Aberdeen Harbour. Designed by A. Marshall Mackenzie 1883-5. Christ's College, Alford Place c.1850
507 Christ's College, Holburn Junction was designed by Thomas Mackenzie, 1850. It was founded to train ministers for the Free Church. St. Paul's Episcopal Church
508 A lithograph of St. Paul's Episcopal Church from around 1870. It faced out onto Loch Street, near the junction with St. Paul's Street.
It was later neighboured by the Co-op Headquarters and Arcade and the Aberdeen Education Authority's Music Centre. The Gothic style church was built in 1865 by John Russell Mackenzie. It was eventually demolished as part of extensive redevelopment of the area.
As can be seen at the top of the image, we originally mistook this image as depicting Holburn West Church. Many thanks to correspondent Martin Greig for pointing out this error. Union Street
634 Towards the middle of the picture can be seen the distinctive square tower of John Smith's West St. Nicholas Kirk House built 1830-31. This drawing is prior to major developments to the junction with Union Terrace, the street on the left of the image.
Note the absence of The Northern Assurance Building on the corner. The building commonly called "The Monkey House" was built in 1885 by architect A. Marshall Mackenzie.
The building at the junction in this drawing is likely the townhouse of the Lumsden family of Belhevie. This would become the first home of the Northern Club in 1854.
In the centre of the image, on the left after Union Bridge, is the Aberdeen Hotel designed by Archibald Simpson and started in 1817. Gilcomston Parish Church
659 Gilcomston Parish Church, designed by William Smith in 1771 and his son, John, added the vestry in 1845. It was restored in 1878 by the architects Mackenzie and McMillan. It is now known as Denburn Parish Church. Albyn Terrace
708 Albyn Terrace was perhaps designed by J. Russell Mackenzie. The terrace stands forward of Rubislaw/Queen's Terrace. Rubislaw Terrace, Aberdeen
709 Rubislaw Terrace, Aberdeen in around 1880. This photograph by George Washington Wilson shows the granite splendour of this terrace, which was planned by the architects Thomas Mackenzie and James Matthews, jointly with James Giles, artist.
The houses were to be erected on the property of James Skene of Rubislaw, on the north side of Albyn Place. The Aberdeen Journal of 31st March 1852 describes the plans as thus: "The style of architecture possesses in a high degree the rare merit of combining what is new, at least in Aberdeen, with what is, in point of taste exceedingly beautiful".
The houses have crowstepped gables and plain windows alternating with bow windows which have a balustrade, and had 11-15 rooms.
In 1854, James Matthews actually lived there, and later occupants included a paper manufacturer, a ship owner, and a number of advocates.
Today, many of the houses have been converted into offices for legal firms. Granite balustrades and a garden area separate the terrace from Albyn Terrace. Queen's Terrace
720 Queen's Terrace, Aberdeen. c.1886 This photograph by George Washington Wilson shows the two storeyed granite-built rows of ten houses, designed in the early 1870's by J. Russell Mackenzie, architect. This terrace adjoins the earlier built Rubislaw Terrace, seen in the distance. They were built on the north side of Albyn Place, and are separated from it by balustrading and gardens.These houses, then occupied by the wealthier professional Aberdonians, including advocates, a retired colonel, a sharebroker, and the Secretary of the Great North of Scotland Railway Co. have now been mostly converted for office use. Queen's Gardens
721 This G.W. Wilson photograph shows the row of terraced houses built in the West End of Aberdeen in the late 1870's. They were designed by J. Russell Mackenzie. The granite houses had three bays with wrought iron balconies at first floor level. The central and end houses were designed by Ellis and Wilson around 1884 - they have bay windows with a pediment above. The 1892 Census shows that the occupants included an advocate, and a wine merchant with houses having 14, 18 or 22 rooms. Today most of the buildings have been converted into offices. At the right can be seen the spire of Rubislaw Church, designed in 1874, also by Mackenzie. Rather strangely, it is made of sandstone, especially in an area dominated by granite, and is distinguished by its gothic tower with leaded spire which was added a few years later.
