Aberdeen Landmark Faces Sale After Flooding
14 Jun
Summary
- The Salvation Army Citadel, a key Aberdeen landmark, is for sale.
- Flooding in the basement forced the building's closure months ago.
- The 1890s-built landmark needs significant upkeep, no longer serves needs.
A prominent landmark in Aberdeen, the Salvation Army Citadel, is being put up for sale. The building, which has been closed for several months, suffered from flooding in its basement.
This Category B-listed structure was purpose-built by the Salvation Army in the 1890s and is noted for its architectural style, said to resemble Balmoral Castle. The organization has indicated that the extensive upkeep required for the historic building, coupled with its evolving needs for community support, has led to this decision.
The Citadel, a notable feature in the city centre's Castlegate area, will be missed by many. Its sale marks the end of an era for this well-known Aberdeen establishment.
