Quaker Meeting House, 7 Victoria Terrace, Edinburgh

The Quaker Meeting House, located at 7 Victoria Terrace in Edinburgh, was designed by Paterson and Shiells and built between 1865 and 1866. This three-storey building features an Italian Gothic style, characterized by an open arcaded loggia on the ground floor supported by corniced, chamfered piers. The façade facing Victoria Terrace has four bays, while the Upper Bow side has three bays. The structure is made of squared and snecked stugged sandstone with polished dressings. It includes moulded string courses between the ground and first floors, as well as between the first and second floors. The gables are finialled and adorned with roll-moulded decoration. The windows are cusped, two-light Plate-traceried types set in round-arched surrounds.

On the south elevation (Victoria Terrace), there are regular windows in four bays at the first floor, and a three-light window on the second floor beneath a broad gable that features a blind multifoil opening, flanked by narrow gables over the outer bays. The west elevation (Upper Bow) has two bays to the right with a gable and a blind multifoil opening, and a single bay to the left, which contains a shop in the ground level of the left and center bays. The east elevation features a projecting single bay with an open arcade on the ground floor and a gable above. The building has modern glazing with top hoppers and is covered with grey slates.
