The Mansfield Traquair Centre is a former Catholic Apostolic Church situated at the north end of Broughton Street in Edinburgh. The church was designed by Sir Robert Rowand Anderson and built between 1873 and 1885. Phoebe Anna Traquair, the Scottish Arts and Crafts artist, began work on her impressive murals for the interior of the church in 1893. The building no longer serves as a church but its interior can be viewed by the public at designated times each month.
