Edinburgh's Assembly Rooms are located on the section of George Street between Frederick Street and Hanover Street. The Assembly Rooms were designed by John Henderson and built between 1783 and 1787 to provide the residents of Edinburgh's fashionable New Town with a venue for social events. John Henderson's original design has undergone significant alterations. William Burn added the portico to the front of the building in 1817, and along with his partner, David Bryce, also added the Music Hall in 1843. The Assembly Rooms are owned by Edinburgh City Council and continue to be used as a venue for entertainment and social events.Edinburgh's Assembly Rooms are located on the section of George Street between Frederick Street and Hanover Street.
