History
The venue was designed by Archibald Simpson, a notable Aberdeen architect, and cost £11,500 when it was originally constructed in 1822. It was opened to the public as a concert hall in 1859 and was renovated in the 1980s.[1] It was closed for further extensive renovation in 2016 with a £9 million investment, and reopened in December 2018.
