John St.
Profile: The
artist studio was built in 1898 and originally served as the
gardener's cottage for the original owner, Alexander Lumsden. A
gardener's cottage is located directly north of the coach house
and appears to date from the same period. This structure is shown
in 1901 fire insurance plans and is attached to a long and narrow
green house building. The one-and-a-half-storey cottage has a
medium-sloped roof with returned eaves. It features a projecting
entry with gabled roof supported by decorative sawn brackets and
also boasts a "spider's web" triangular transom light. There
are two-over-six, triple windows on east elevation. The high
foundation wall is of stone construction while upper walls are
finished in smooth stucco. Good example of Queen Anne-inspired
design. It is very compatible with the heritage character of New
Edinburgh and reinforces the heritage designation of the area.
