Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology was commissioned by Prime Student Housing to undertake a programme of archaeological works at Gateway Theatre; 40-44 Elm Row, Edinburgh. This report comprises a Level 2 (RCHME 1996) Historic Building Record of the standing buildings prior to demolition works and the results of subsequent archaeological monitoring of the demolition works. The building survey revealed that the majority of the upstanding outer walls of the theatre represented the remains of the original 19th century Veterinary College. The college had been designed in 1882 and had continued as a Veterinary College until 1899. Subsequent to this, the property changed hands on a number of occasions becoming an Ice Rink, Cinema, Theatre, Television Studios and finally reverting to a Theatre. These frequent changes saw major alterations to the internal design of the building over the following century. The building survey recorded various aspects of the building's present state reflecting its important social history during the 20th century. |
