Edinburgh and Scottish Collection
In 1958 the Princes Street Panel, taking heed of suggestions going back to the Abercrombie Plan of 1949, instigated a policy of introducing 1st floor walkways to all new buildings on Princes Street, with the ultimate intention of creating a continuous second upper-level street.
The New Club is the finest building incorporating this feature, perfectly illustrated by its slightly later continuation to the east. Alan Reiach's building replaced that of William Burn, 1834, and a later matching extension by David Bryce, 1859. The building uses in-situ reinforced concrete, with plate glass and Rubislaw granite facings to the front and brick and concrete panels to the sides and rear. It is very carefully composed, a typical feature being the definition of the beginning of the club by the cantilever at 2nd floor.
