Originally Melville Free Church and built ca. 1901 in neo-baroque style. According to Gammie (1909): "the distinguishing features of Melville Church, as already alluded to, are its evangelistic sympathies and its practical interest in aggressive religious work." It was presumably named after Andrew Melville, one of the leaders of the Scottish Reformation. Now converted to flats and B-listed: http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/sc-47495-skene-street-at-rose-street-melville-cour .
