saint johns home

The gable end of each row, situated at right-angles to the street, has inset a blank half-moon recess, and the two groups of houses are linked by an arch bearing the inscription "St. John's Home, 1816" and the town's crest, a star and crescent. From this little square, a fine view may be obtained of the Tholsel, with Millmount and the southern slopes of the town in the background.
