24 St Andrew Square

Image: © Anne Burgess Taken: 28 Mar 2012

No 24 was one of the block of four in the centre of the north side of St Andrew Square, built in 1770-1772, probably by William Chambers, for the 'joint purses' of Sir Robert Murray, Sir John Whitefoord and Gilbert Meason. The apparent asymmetry of placing the door in the second bay from left was balanced by placing the door of No 23 next door in the fourth bay from left. The Roman Doric porch was added as late as 1970 by Dick Peddie and McKay.
