Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a programme of archaeological works for two buildings on the Western General Hospital campus, the Paderewski Building and Occupational Health Building (known as Rose Cottage), both originally constructed as the Craigleith Children's Home. The works comprised an initial desk-based assessment and a Level 2 (English Heritage 2006) historic building survey of the extant buildings. The desk-based assessment determined that development of the Children's Home site can be roughly assigned to two phases during the 20th century. The most recent saw the connection of a small, modular building to the east side of the Paderewski Building in the late 1960s and the creation of car parks to its north and south. Although the Paderewski Building and Rose Cottage have been used for a number of purposes as part of the larger poorhouse and then hospital site since 1912, modifications to the two buildings are minimal (consisting mainly of inserted partition walls and blocked openings), except for some structural changes at the west end of the ground floor in the Paderewski Building.
