89-95 Fountainbridge, Edinburgh

            Frank Worthington Simon, 1898. French Renaissance former boys' home (now flats). Full of interest architecturally, especially the arcaded ground floor, small-pane leaded windows, conical corner towers and 1st. floor plaque.  Hammer-dressed coursed sandstone with polished ashlar dressings. 

Originally the Edinburgh Industrial Brigade Home, renamed the Edinburgh Home for Working Lads in 1928. Dean of Guild plans show dormitories with communal lavatories and a bathroom on each floor, and a large playroom in the basement. The Home moved out in 1962, and closed down in 1977.
