Summary
DescriptionRossHouse-117156-Richard Slessor.jpg |
English: Provost Ross' House. One of the oldest houses in Aberdeen, this dates from 1593. It was in a sorry state by the 1950s and was threatened with demolition. Fortunately it was restored by the National Trust For Scotland in 1954. Sadly the view looking in the other direction, towards the Town House, that can be seen in Colin Smith's 1990 photograph has been ruined by the unwelcome addition of a grotesque eyesore of a cinema. This shabby building, constructed in 2000, now obscures much of the view of the splendid baronial town house.
Español: La Casa del Alcalde Ross. Una de las casas más antiguas de Aberdeen, se construyó en 1593. Se encontró en un estado lamentable en la década 1950 y se veó enfrentada a la demolición. Afortunadamente se restauró por National Trust for Scotland en 1954. Desafortunadamente la vista en la otra dirección, hacia la Casa Adosada, que se puede ver en la foto de Colin Smith de 1990 se ha estropeado por la aumenta desagradable de una monstruosidad grotesca de un cine. Ese edificio desvencijado, construido en 2000, ya obscura mucha de la vista de la espléndida casa adosada baronial.
