Abstract: |
The meeting house at St Andrew's is a good example of a listed terraced house adapted for Quaker use, with minimal intervention. The former residential building was built in 1860s and is typical of early Victorian planned development in Scottish towns and cities, continuing Georgian architectural traditions. Evidential value: The building and site has low evidential significance and limited archaeological potential. Historical value: The building has high historical value as part of 1860s planned residential development on the edge of St Andrew's. It has been associated with the Quakers for less than 25 years, and has low significance for this connection. Aesthetic value: The building has high architectural value as part of a formal terrace of houses built in the 1860s, in the Georgian tradition. The interior has been little altered and retains features such as fireplaces and staircases, which have high aesthetic value. Communal value: The meeting house has high communal value as a place of Quaker worship since 1993 and as a building valued by the wider community. |
