Details Former Aberdeen Waterworks pumping station and engine house, designed by William Smith 1864, now in residential use named Fairview. It was one of the first buildings to be built for Aberdeen Water Works. It is a tall, single storey classical building, rectangular in plan, with a central doorway and full width pedimented gable on the entrance elevation. Built of pinned granite rubble with rockfaced freestone quoins, moulded cornice in the pediment and a vent at the roof. There is a later addition. A rubble boundary wall with triangular coping surrounds the property with a pair of bull-faced, caped gatepiers to the east.
