The four-storey brick warehouse was built for R. Irvin and Sons, fish salesmen and ship store merchants in 1913 and an office block was added alongside two years later. The façade is clad at ground floor level with buff ceramic tiles which look like ashlar stonework. Richard Irvin Jnr was also director of the African Fishing and Trading Company and the Southern Sailing and Whaling Company. An earlier gasometer was incorporated into the ground floor of the warehouse. One of the gas works outbuildings still survives. The Irvin Building is an early example of the use of reinforced concrete for the warehouse window and door lintels, pillars, beams, floors and ceilings supported by Rolled Steel Joists. Inside, the warehouse retains rails and hooks in the ceilings and a wheel for a pulley system used by net makers and a tinsmith. There was a workroom for the ‘herring net girls’ on the second floor. The three-storey office and banking building butts up against the warehouse. It is brick built with buff ceramic dressings and cladding, slender chimneys and a slate roof. The façade is decorated with scroll shaped brackets, a shaped tablet, an ashlar frieze, relief decoration in the form of a swag between two pilasters surmounted by rosettes and a modillion cornice. Inside, the ground floor has oak panelled walls, moulded cornices, and pedimented doors. The first floor board room has parquet flooring and a moulded plaster ceiling with a ribboned border and three ceiling roses. Irvin was a pioneer of steam trawling and was said to be the largest operator outside Peterhead in Scotland.
