A mid-19thC house in Starbank Park. Originally the home of the Rev. W.M.Goalen, the founder of Christ Church, Trinity Road [in Image, now a private house, but not yet featured on Geograph]. In 1889 the grounds and house were bought by Leith Town Council for use as a park, and the house was the park keeper's residence. For a time it served as a museum, but after 1920, when Leith and Edinburgh amalgamated, the collections were moved to Edinburgh museums. It is now two private residences.
