About MeA square well house with a typed stone roof. Above the cornice four masks are sited on the rising ridges of the roof. The masks are grotesque in style, each consisting of three faces; one of full frontal and two of side presentation. At the apex of the roof is a small lead statue of a man. The figure is of the classical type, nude except for a loincloth. He stands in an active position with his arms held forwards, suggesting that he may once have been holding something.A lamp bracket projects from the roof of the well house, with a lantern attached. On the opposite facade is an iron door with the arms of Aberdeen imprinted.
