Next a dramatic jump in scale to James Miller's Caledonian Chambers (nos. 75-95 Union St.), a vast office block of dead buff stone built for the Caledonian Rly in 1901-3 and incorporating a pedestrian entrance to Central Station (NS56NE 77.00), which Miller was then remodelling. Mannerist detial remarkably subdued in the middle bays but breaking out with huge aedicules on the the tower-like end ones carried on Michelangelesque figures by Albert Hodge. In the huge pediments of these, the royal arms of Scotland.
W Williamson, A Riches and M Higgs 1990.
