Notes
There is a confllict of information here. Check
Information also per Aberdeen City Archives. Thomas Henderson who was chief engineer in the City was also resonsible for some aspects of this building e.g. selection of the site (Town Council Minutes). So it is unclear what the role of Robert S S Mackay was.
Cost £37,000
