52 South Street
南街52号

The current exterior of 52 South Street probably dates from the eighteenth century. However, the core of the building is much older. Archaeological investigations undertaken during a recent restoration of the building revealed that part of the house is in fact fourteenth century. The fourteenth-century house was much smaller than the current building and was located several feet further away from the street. Indeed, the frontage of the medieval house now forms the back wall of the ground floor room. Like many of the medieval properties in St Andrews, 52 South Street is still a private house.


当前南街52号的外形结构大概可以追溯到18世纪。然而, 这个建筑的核心要老得多。考古人员在最近的一次建筑修复中发现房子的一部分可以追溯到14世纪。14世纪的建筑远小于当前的建筑并且离街道也更远几英尺。事实上, 中世纪的建筑的正门位置是现在房子一楼房间的后墙。像许多中世纪圣安德鲁斯的建筑一样, 南街52号如今仍然是是一个私人住宅。
