Lauriston Place Fire Station
The fire station predates the College of Art to the north, which follows on from the fire station's red sandstone and green slates. The building is constructed of Locharbriggs red sandstone (from the Scottish Borders) ashlar. The base storey is granite-faced. The building remained an operational fire station and main control centre until its replacement at Tollcross was completed in 1988. A major repair and refurbishment was carried out in 1998-99 by the City of Edinburgh Council Architects.
