Standing Building Recording (18 April 2013)
NT 28608 75671 A standing building survey was carried out, 18 April 2013, of the former hospital building at 4 Seafield Street, formerly part of the Eastern General Hospital. The building was constructed c1910 as part of the Leith Poorhouse, later the Seafield Hospital and Eastern General Hospital. In its later life the building served as part of the Findlay Care Home. This T-shaped building with a slightly projecting stair tower to the W was in a poor state of repair, having been left abandoned for a number of years. Few architectural features remained in the building; there were the remains of a decorative cornice and fireplace surround in one first floor room.
