Description
Excerpt from page - " Orphan Hospital 1831 - On Monday the foundation stone of as new Orphan Hospital as a substitute for the old building to the east of the North Bridge was laid on a most beautiful site between the Dean House and John Watsons Hospital.
A bottle containing coins and newspapers having been deposited the ceremony of laying the stone was performed by the Lord President who is [?] of the Institution in presence of the Managers among whom we observed........We understand that the building will be a plain and neat structure fronting the south of less architectural grace than the neighbouring hospital of John Watson, but still sufficiently elegant to do justice to the singularly fine site which has been chosen....." Edinburgh Evening Courant June 30 1831.
