City Chambers was designed by John Adam and built between 1753-61. It was intended as premises for a merchant exchange, but this was not entirely successful and the building was overtaken by Edinburgh Council during the 19th century. The council instigated significant extensions to the building in the years around 1900. The building was constructed over several Old Town closes. One of these subterranean streets, Mary King's Close, is now open to the public.
This image was created for
Ulster Bank
as part of a project to show how the appearance of streets across the city today compares with earlier views, as recorded in historical images from Edinburgh Libraries' Collection.
