Abstract: |
A Level 1 standing building survey was carried out on 7 July 2016. A photographic survey was carried out of the exteriors of the buildings. There is no access to the interior and the exterior is overgrown and areas inaccessible because of building materials. Architects plans and elevations were annotated. The house may have started as a cottage on the frontage of Viewfield Road and was substantially enlarged and modernized by Alexander Macdonald around 1875 to house his substantial art collection. Macdonald commissioned J Russell Mackenzie to enlarge Kepplestone House (now called Kepplestone Mansion) in a vernacular style. The building was then extended several times in the 20th century, and several of these extensions have since been removed leaving scars on the current building |
