Edmond Terrace, Croftamie
Image: © Lairich Rig Taken: 30 Mar 2012
This nineteenth-century red sandstone terrace was built for local workers, the employees of "John Edmond and Sons, Wood Merchants, Saw Millers, and Joiners, Croftamie, Drymen Station", as the company was styled at the time (Image was located here, rather than at the village of Drymen, which is at Image). The saw-mill burned down one night in 1937, and never reopened. The firm was wound up voluntarily, going into liquidation in November of the same year. As for the building itself, compare Image, which is located several miles away; it is roughly contemporary, is similar in design, and was built for much the same purpose.
