Scope and Content Drawing room ceiling at No 1, north side of Charlotte Square, Edinburgh No 1 Charlotte Square was built by Alexander Stevens to Robert Adam's 1791 design. Stevens designed Nos 1 and 2 as two ingeniously interlocked houses, and not the one very large house originally proposed for the east pavilion of the north terrace. The ceiling of the first-floor drawing room is in the style and manner of Robert Adam, and by the plasterer, James Henderson. An eight-point star is set in a circle. Robert Adam, using balanced Neo-Classical plasterwork, divided the ceiling into segments and panels, arranged around a centrepiece. The framing plasterwork was painted in delicate colours: pea greens with pinks, and lilacs with greys were characteristic. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
