39 The Green follows the classical Aberdeen tradition with its simple careful proportions. It is an unusual survivor in this area and its corner site makes it a prominent part of the streetscape. Piended roofs on domestic buildings are unusual in this part of Aberdeen where gabled roofs are more common.
The Green is one of the oldest areas in Aberdeen. It was part of the original entranceway into the city of Aberdeen and became celebrated from the sixteenth century as an open-air market venue. The area became increasingly built up in the nineteenth century with rising numbers of residents, traders and industries. With the formation and construction of Union Street to the North during the nineteenth century, the importance of The Green diminished. It was no longer part of the entranceway into the city and the tall buildings of Union Street had rear entrances at the level of The Green and their height overshadowed the area. This building is typical of the early nineteenth century buildings that were established here.
