Windsor place

I have been doing a bit of research for a third cousin in Australia, Her Great grandfather Alexander Hutson died at the nursing home that was at 43 Windsoe place in the 50s. I have been trying to find a photo of the building from that time.I was born and grew up at 36 Promanade 1n the 50s but dont remember the nursing home to young to pay attention to nursing homes. I know the it was built in 1840 and made a listed building in 1972. I have tried the Evening news and the Historic buildings with no luck. A photo from that time would be great or indeed any information about the home.

It looks like RCAHMS have two photos in their collection; see: http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/15 ... sor+place/

One for 1965, the other 1975; however they're not online.
