16 Prince Street is a Category B listed building in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It dates from 1838.[1][2] It was formerly Peterhead's infant school, colloquially known as the Chuckney School.[2][3] Today it is an office building for Aberdeenshire Council.
Described by architectural historians David Walker and Matthew Woodworth as "a temple to education", the building's front elevation presents a single symmetrical storey, made of granite ashlar and with a central portico in the Roman Doric style, the pediment of which is surmounted by a bellcote. Extending to either side of this are wings of three bays. It was originally T-plan in shape, with a third wing extending back from the entrance, but has been greatly extended since its construction.[4]
