The Episcopalian Church of St. Mary, Carden-Place, Aberdeen, 1864. 'Our Engraving shows its external design, the merit of which belongs chiefly to the Rev. F. G. Lee who is an accomplished amateur architect; though he had the able professional assistance of Mr. Alexander Ellis. The building is principally in the middle-pointed style of Gothic architecture, with some of the details partaking of Italian and Scotch character...Externally, on the north and south sides, the large gables of the transepts, flanked on each side by projecting buttresses crowned by massive square pinnacles, mark the divisions of the church - the nave running westward, and the chancel to the east. The nave is divided into five bays by the clerestory windows, which are alternately circular and coupled lancets - three circular and two pairs of lancets on each side...The transepts externally present each a large circular window, 12 ft. in diameter, with four lancets underneath. The masonry, is rubble-granite, but the parts are marked by the use of bands of red and white freestone and black granite. These stones are also alternated in the formation of the circular and other windows and principal details throughout...The interior will accommodate between 700 and 800 persons'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
