Old Photograph Alderston House Haddington Scotland
Old photograph of Alderston House by Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland. Alderston House was acquired by the Scottish Rural Workers Friendly Society and converted into a convalescent home which had opened by 1930. It was a neat neo-Classical house of five bays with a rusticated ground floor and slightly advanced centre bay surmounted by a pediment. A single-storey extension to one side was added later and a small scale, two storey pavilion on the other side, separate from the main house. During the Second World War it was incorporated in the Emergency Medical Scheme, and after the War it was transferred to the National Health Service as a convalescent home. This closed in 1956 and the house became a nurses’ home.
