Notes: A syndicate has obtained from the Town Council by way of perpetual feu a piece of ground with 110 feet of frontage and 160 feet of depth on the east side of Rosemount Viaduct. It is proposed to erect on the site a theatre capable of accommodating over 2,000 persons. The building will be fireproofed throughout, the pit resting on arches fronting Upper Denbarn, a street running under the viaduct at a lower level, but all the entrances will be from the viaduct. The new buildings will be of granite and Messrs Harper and Sutherland, Aberdeen, the architects for the syndicate. [Builder 2 January 1897 p21]
