Description
The chapel at Eastern General Hospital on Seafield Street in Edinburgh was likely designed by J M Johnston around 1910. It is a single-storey, gabled chapel with a near rectangular plan, connected to a piend-roofed mortuary. The exterior is harled with red sandstone ashlar dressings. The end gable facing the main drive is flanked on the left by a half-piend roofed porch featuring two-leaf panelled doors with decorative lead-pane glazed upper panels, and ashlar wing walls that shield the steps. The gable has a stylised design with a segmental-arched window panel, complete with a keystone and a bipartite window. This window panel is mirrored on the opposite gable end, and there is also a window on the side. The mortuary is linked at an angle by a connecting passage.
Inside, the chapel retains its original decorative scheme with Art Nouveau details. The inner door has glazed upper panels featuring decorative leaded glazing and coloured glass. The interior includes a boarded dado and a segmental barrel-vaulted ceiling. Additional decorative stained, leaded glass can be found in the windows. A screen separates the link to the mortuary, adorned with decorative glass panels above the dado level and Glasgow Style curved woodwork below the ceiling beam, along with further decorative two-leaf doors. The roof is covered with grey slate, and the gable wallheads have ashlar coping.
