Frederick Street School

Description:

The space-saving concept of the roof-top playground was devised by E R Robson working for the London School Board and found little favour elsewhere. Two were built in Aberdeen by J Ogg Allan, the Central School in 1901 and this one. It was originally fenced down the middle to create separate playgrounds for boys and girls. The building is now the Frederick Street Business Centre and only the roof is open for Doors Open Day.
