Scope and Content Photographic copy of drawing showing plans, elevations and sections of Provost Ross's House, Shiprow, Aberdeen Shiprow leads from Exchequer Row (where the Mint stood in the 12th century) down to the harbour. This area was among the first to experience slum clearances in Aberdeen in the 1890s, when it became vastly overcrowded and unfit for human habitation. Provost Ross's House stands halfway down Shiprow. It was built by George Johnstone in 1593, and takes its name from Provost John Ross of Arnage, who traded with the Low Countries, and lived in the house in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. These drawings of the front and rear elevations (left), plans of all four floors (centre) and sections through parts of the house were produced by the Corporation of the City of Aberdeen for the restoration of the house in 1952-4.
