Scope and Content Entrance Hall and West Corridor, Edinburgh College of Art, Lauriston Place, Edinburgh The Edinburgh College of Art was designed in 1906-9 by the architect, John More Dick Peddie, in a symmetrical Beaux-Arts style. The interior of the school was photographed in 1909 by the architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. The entrance hall, with its paired Roman Doric columns and pilasters, gives access to the corridors which link the college's east and west rectangular courts. The west corridor (seen here) is lined with casts of the friezes from the Parthenon in Athens. The college was built round two rectangular courts. The western court (roofed over in 1925) was completed in 1907 and contained a glass pavilion for 'plein air' painting as well as a special passage for the entrance of horses and other animals.
