Scope and Content 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. The building, in a Neo-Palladian style by Dick Peddie and George Washington Browne, sits comfortably with its Victorian and late 20th-century neighbours. St Andrew's Church, built between 1782-4, is on the left. George Street, intended as the central avenue of James Craig's New Town in 1767, became, by the middle of the 19th century, a street of banks and insurance offices with some of the finest examples of 19th-century Classical and Renaissance facades.
