Kittybrewster Auction Market was indicated on OS maps of 1864 but were replaced in 1877 by an auction hall which was by Duncan MacMillan and J Russell and was the first joint permanent market in Aberdeen. The present buildings date from between the late 1890s and 1926 and were built by John Rust, architect. The auction hall has a timber-clad front, the flanks being harled. The slated pyramoid roof has a cupola at the apex while the louvred and rolled lead roof is of ogee form and has a cast-iron finial.
