St. Andrew's House, Regent Road, Edinburgh

Another Art Deco blip. I love this building!

Here is some history:

BUILT on the former site of Calton Jail, on the south side of Calton Hill, between 1934 and 1939 by Thomas Tait, Scotland's foremost interwar architect, St Andrew's House is considered one of the most significant examples of art deco architecture north of the Border.During its history, the vast A-listed building has been home to the offices of successive Scottish secretaries. Of late, it has served as the offices of the Scottish Government and the First Minister. A refurbishment nine years ago preserved many art deco features.
