Abstract:		 Addyman Archaeology undertook Historic Building Recording at 11 Hillside Crescent, Edinburgh, in advance of its redevelopment into student accommodation. The Building is a Category A Listed Building designed by William Playfair in 1820 and was part of the Calton Scheme for the development of the area. Analysis of both the built fabric and the substantial corpus of original Playfair plans and designs held by the University of Edinburgh was able to identify the substantial remaining Greek Revival fabric and decorative elements of the building, including much intact moulded plasterwork and timber elements. These demonstrate the almost total design control Playfair exercised over the building interiors and design. Four main phases of occupancy and use were identified, from its original construction to its final use, from the 1930s onwards, as the RAF Club. These phases all demonstrate a change from the use of the building as a grand private residence to one used as an entertainment venue and finally as a service personnel's social club. Internal modifications and decorative elements may be attributed to each phase, and the combined documentary and historic fabric record generated provides a valuable corpus of evidence for the material history of an architect-designed Greek Revival structure from the 1820s to the present.
