Edinburgh’s Art Deco Heritage 13: Edinburgh Sports Club
Posted in Architecture, Art Deco, Edinburgh at 12:00 on 15 December 2014
This is a mainly 1930s sports club building situated just beside the Water of Leith off Belford Road near the Gallery of Modern Art. That newer entrance spoils it somewhat. The photo is a stitch to get it all in.
Far end view:-
Strong horizontals and verticals here. The canopy is good, and the blue highlighting. The windows have that “eyes poked out” look though.
Side view:-
The detailing on the main wall is good. That extension is a bit bland though.
