The building, which was built by a merchant, David Brebner,[4] is three storeys with an attic in an L-plan range. It has harled ashlar margins. There is an entrance to the attic in the southern gable of the wing reach from Barbank Street. A skewputt on the northeastern side of the building is dated 1727.[2] Brebner's son, Alexander, inherited the property.[4]
In 1971, work was being done on the building.[5] The following year, Historic Scotland assessed the building in a group containing the adjacent (to the west) Corf Warehouse, Old Co-Operative Grain Store and the harbour.[6]
The structure was listed on Scotland's Buildings at Risk Register between 1994 and 2013.[7]
The warehouse was one of six buildings in the harbour owned by Tom Burnett-Stuart. When he died, in January 2020, he left the buildings in the care of North East Scotland Preservation Trust (NESPT).[8]
