This stable-block, like that at Shirva (NS67NE 16) and elsewhere, had a two-storeyed and hipped-roof main block with an advanced and pedimented central bay. The functionally handsome appearance of these buildings echoes the more elegant treatment accorded to the classical Canal Office (NS56NE 86) on the North Speirs Wharf at Port Dundas.
