8. Blackie House

Blackie House

As a part of the urban renewal program in 1894 Geddes created a new court, now called Wardrop’s court. To get air and light into the ‘slum’ like tenements Geddes had to smaller closes removed to achieve this and develop a better standard of living for the residents. Geddes converted the house to the north of the court in to morte self-governing student accommodation.
