Statement of Interest

Formerly known as 'Belize', Tudor Lodge is a fine, well-detailed example of the work of Dr William Kelly, architect of the Aberdeen Savings Bank Head Office (1896) and the Royal Aberdeen Hospital for Sick Children (1926-8). Only two early houses were feued in Bath Street, and apart from the Fetteresso Parish Church and school, little development took place until the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Some recent (2005) stonework, including mullion replacement, has been carried out by Alastair Urquhart, stonemason.
