OS 1:500 map, Aberdeenshire, 2nd ed., (1901).
This building was erected as a manse or a residence for the minister of St Nicholas' Church, but the date of erection cannot be satisfactorily ascertained. On the two inner wings is the date 1729 but the body of the house appears to have been erected before that date. It is no longer used as a manse but is let off into several tenements.
Name Book 1895.
On the site now occupied by nos 16-26 School Hill, Aberdeen, was a temple tenement of St John, formerly George Jameson's House.
