The White House restoration is finished

Posted on 18 Mar 2011

PARC acquired the building in 2007 as part of their effort to consolidate and regenerate the town centre. With restoration and an appropriate sustainable use, the building will return to its previous glory and once again, reclaim its prominence on the high street of Craigmillar. To celebrate the completion of the restoration works, funded by the Scottish Government’s Town Centre Regeneration Fund (TCRF), Historic Scotland’s Conservation Grant and PARC, the White House opens its doors again to the public with an Inaugural Exhibition that showcases the past, present and future of Craigmillar from 18 March to 10 June 2011.

The Exhibition features:
