Abstract
In 1719 Stirling town council undertook to develop the site of the ruinous Garden's Old Lodging, near the Mercat Cross. The Toun's New House had four shops on the ground floor; the upper floors were rented for commercial and residential use. It was a prestige project, to an initial design apparently by Scotland's leading architects. Council decisions, building accounts and an inventory of fixtures provide unusual detail about construction, use and decoration. In 1924 the property was surveyed by the Office of Works with a view to modernisation and preservation but the scheme was rejected and the property demolished.
