The Assembly Rooms - 1829 The book Modern Athens described the Assembly Rooms in 1829: "The Assembly-rooms occupy a building of considerable elegance, the front of which has recently been ornamented by an arcade and pediment. The internal rooms were described as: "A Ball-room, 92 feet in length, in width 42 and in height 40. On the ground- floor is a Supper-room of the same length and breadth as the ball-room but not rising to an equal height." The Assembly Rooms - Today The Assembly Rooms are now used to hold dances, antique fares and other events. The rooms are particularly busy during the Edinburgh Festival in August each year. |
