Nothing is visible of this hydropathic establishment, which stood within what is now Westburn Park. As depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Aberdeenshire, 1869, sheet lxxv), the hydro comprised a number of buildings, the largest of which may have been a former country house. Of the other buildings, one (NJ 9285 0704) to the ENE was destroyed when Cornhill Road was built sometime before 1902 (1902, sheet lxxv.SW), and the others were removed in the 20th century.
