About Robert Morham
- Robert Morham (31 March 1839 – 5 June 1912) was the City Architect for Edinburgh for the last decades of the nineteenth century and was responsible for much of the “public face” of the city at the time. His work is particularly well represented within Edinburgh City Chambers where each of the high Victoriana main council chambers (Edinburgh Room, Nelson Mandela Room, European Room etc.) is under his hand. Most of his buildings are utilitarian in function: police stations, fire stations, swimming baths etc.
- and these are generally atypical of the Edinburgh streetscape in terms of material being generally in red sandstone rather than cream.
- This allows the public buildings to quickly be identified in the streets concerned. His work in parks is also noteworthy including one of the world's best known public spaces, Princes Street Gardens.
- This included negotiations for the widening of Princes Street and the placing of a great number of statues along the edge of the park facing that road.
