Grassmarket Corn Exchange |
|
The Corn Exchange in the Grassmarket was built in 1849 and demolished in the mid-20th century. Grant's 'Old & New Edinburgh' describes the building as being: "in the Italian style with a handsome front of three storeys with a campanile or belfry at the north end." "... the scene of many public festivals, the chief of which were perhaps the great Crimean banquet ...1856 ... and [one] given after the close of the Indian Mutiny." |
