Abstract: |
A Level 1-2 historic building survey was undertaken at the former Barnton Hotel, Edinburgh prior to conversion. The hotel was built in 1896 and is a Category C listed structure prominently located at a key road entry into Edinburgh. It was derelict at the time of survey and consisted of a rectangular 3-storey sandstone building with a central tower and basement. The interior of the hotel had been extensively altered, especially during the latter part of its use. The decoration recorded during this survey was created toward the end of the 20th century and frequently covered or removed original Victorian finishes. Original features were restricted to joinery, coving and cornices. The survey has provided a photographic and written record of the structure prior to renovation, which provides some insight into its internal organisation, decoration and, more generally, its role in the wider community. |
