This well-detailed office building adds significantly to the streetscape of Market Street. 162-166 is a good example of the Edwardian Baroque style, which was often utilised for public buildings erected between the years 1901-1910. It drew on influences from different sources, including French and Dutch architecture, and often contained, as here, rusticated ground floors, Ionic pilasters and stylised attics and gables.
Jenkins & Marr (founded in 1878 and continuing to today) is an Aberdeen-based architectural firm, whose output at the time of this building was concentrated mainly within Aberdeen and the surrounding area. Their work encompassed both small private houses and large public works.
