1. Title: Aberdeen Municipal Lodging House, 1897. This evocative photograph captures the Aberdeen Municipal Lodging House, a remarkable architectural gem located on East North Street in Aberdeen, Scotland. Established in 1897, this historic building was designed by the esteemed architectural partnership of Marshall and Dick. The duo, known for their innovative and forward-thinking designs, crafted a structure that seamlessly blended functionality and aesthetics, setting a new standard for public lodgings in the late Victorian era. The Aberdeen Municipal Lodging House was not a commercial enterprise but rather a social initiative aimed at providing affordable and comfortable accommodation for the city's residents. The architects' design reflected their commitment to creating a welcoming and dignified space for those in need. The building's red sandstone facade, adorned with intricate carvings and decorative details, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The use of large windows and high ceilings allowed for ample natural light and ventilation, ensuring a bright and spacious interior. The Aberdeen Municipal Lodging House marked a significant milestone in the history of social welfare in Aberdeen. Its opening demonstrated the city's dedication to addressing the housing needs of its population and providing a safe and secure environment for its most vulnerable citizens. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the architectural beauty and historical significance of this once-pivotal institution. Marshall and Dick's design for the Aberdeen Municipal Lodging House stands as a testament to their vision and the importance of architectural innovation in shaping the urban landscape of Aberdeen. Today, the building remains an enduring symbol of the city's rich architectural heritage and its commitment to social welfare.
