The dean's house at The Cross, now the Cathedral Museum, figure 12, was built in 1624 as the town house of Dean John Pearson of Kippenross, whose coat of arms of a heart impaled by a sword can be seen on the outside wall. It is a plain, tall building with a forestair. Only the ground floor, however, with its barrel vault is original; the upper storeys, staircase and window were completed during a reconstruction in 1 765 and these additions are indicative of changes in financial status.
