The church building was completed in 1784, and is now protected as a category A listed building.

The New Club, established in 1787, is a private club in the New Town area of Edinburgh, Scotland. The Club originally met in Bayle's Tavern in Shakespeare Square at the east end of Princes Street. It then acquired its own premises in St Andrew Square before moving to its present site at 86 Princes Street in 1837. The present building dates from 1969 and was designed by Alan Reiach, Eric Hall & Partners. Since 1996 it has been protected as a Category A listed building.
