Unexecuted design for a church with a tower and other elements
similar to those on the St Vincent Street Church, q.v.; often described
as being for St George's Church, Edinburgh, it has been demonstrated by
David Walker that the design corresponds with the site on the corner of
Broughton Street and Albany Street occupied by St Mary's Free Church by
J.T. Rochead, 1859 (above, right). The church has since been demolished,
although the adjacent manse in Albany Street remains.
The drawing was presented to
the RIAS by Thomson's son John in 1932.
