Statement of Interest

Built for Robert Noble (1857-1917) East Lothian artist,

who required balcony for asthmatic complaint. Almost

certainly by same architect as 1 Preston Road; possibly E

Auldjo Jamieson whose The Manse, Nisbet Road, Gullane has a

similar Arts and Crafts design and date.

Builders Malcolm and Laing, East Linton.
