ARCHITECT: Robert Morham, 1871.
Standing Building Recording (17 August 2015)
NT 26045 73626 A historic building survey was carried out, 17 August 2015, of the former United Presbyterian Church, 17–21 Blackfriars Street, in advance of refurbishment. The church was originally built in 1871 to a design by Richard Morham. It replaced the previous tenement building, one of many in this part of the Old Town which were removed in the clearances of the 1870s. The building has been derelict for several years and, at the time of survey, had already undergone some partial refurbishment, including the stripping of many walls, partial removal of a stair and an
alteration of floor levels.
