Abstract: |
AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by Robert Mackenzie to undertaken an historic building record of the former Roman Catholic St Paul's Church, 4 Muirhouse Avenue, Edinburgh, prior to the demolition of the building to construct new dwellings. The works were required as a condition of planning consent. The church was constructed in 1968 and designed by architect Peter Rice Whitson in an international modernist style in brick with a roughcast render over a steel superstructure. The main church building was to the east with a small vestibule and narthex to either side to the south, a large chapel space to the centre and another activity room to the north side. The church linked into a flat-roofed block containing living quarters to the west of the site. In 2014, a fire gutted the building rendering it unusable, and the roof of the chapel was removed. No further historic building survey is considered necessary prior to development, although this will need to be confirmed by the CEC Archaeology Service on behalf of the CEC. |
