Scope and Content Photographic copy of drawing showing front elevation 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. This shows the projecting four-storeyed tower, part of the original 16th-century house, on the right, and the early 18th-century addition to the left. The whole house was restored by A G R Mackenzie in 1954, and now houses the Maritime Museum. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
