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." |
