The Rooms \u2013 1928 – Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1926 the Society sold St. Andrew\u2019s Hall for ten times its cost and within two years purchased a brownstone mansion at 150 Washington Avenue which became known as \u201cThe Rooms.\u201d The wisdom of the Society in making these investments has produced great rewards ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of this is due to the skill of David Lithgow, painter, sculptor, and engraver. Educated in Glasgow he became a member of the Society in 1916. He redesigned the first two stories of The Rooms in 1928-29, creating the feeling of an Edinburgh gentlemen\u2019s club, complete with oak paneling and tartans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Society has a home where all meetings and many social events are held. The Rooms have become a treasure house where the Society displays gifts it has received from members and friends: paintings, sculptures, engravings, silver, citations, prizes for curling, and ancient weapons \u2013 all reminders of the great history of Scotland. Members take great pride in knowing that they are co-owners of this unique splendor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
