Scope and Content Interior, Standard Life Assurance Building, 3-13 George Street, Edinburgh The Standard Life Assurance Building occupies a commanding position at the north east corner of George Street and St Andrew Square. It was built gradually in three stages from 1897 to 1901 as the original buildings on the corner site were demolished. This small public area on the ground-floor has arches and pilasters in a variety of coloured marbles. It gives an air of rich informality, and of being suitable for the discussion of private matters. The Standard Life Assurance Company, an Edinburgh institution, was one of several large insurance companies that established their head office in George Street in the 19th century.
