Scope and Content Hall from the west, The Elms, Cairnie Road, Arbroath, Angus The Elms, a French Gothic-style villa, was designed by the architect William Leiper (1839-1916) and built between 1864 and 1866 for Provost Corsar of Arbroath, a linen manufacturer. The house was used as a children's home in the late 20th century, and is now in private hands. This shows the hall with its repeated stone arches. The doorway features a stained glass rose window, and the central arch rests upon polished pink stone columns with carved stone capital, each showing a different plant motif. An ornate rainwater head from the exterior drainpipe can be seen on the floor to the right. This house with its French Gothic details has an interior richly decorated with painted ceilings, carved stone angels, stained glass and tiled fireplaces. These fine decorative details show the influence of Leiper's friend William Burges (1827-81), a leading figure in the Victorian Gothic Revival. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
