Statement of Interest

B group comprises St Michael and All Saints Church, Brougham Street and Panmure Place, former Parsonage House, 26 Brougham Street, and 22-30 Glen Street, former Sister' House and School, all designed by Rowand Anderson. Plans show Anderson's neat use of an awkward, obtuse-angled site, giving the tall, narrow elevation of the Parsonage House 'presence,' and also linking it, both visually and practically, with the Church.
