It was a condition of George Steuart's original feu contract of 1807 that all porters' lodges shoud be single storey. Porters' lodges were stipulated by the owners of the land in 1825, Benjamin and George Bell, as necessary for the maintenance of the privacy, convenience and security of their prospective residents. Similar gatepiers and lodges can be found at 74 and 122 Dalkeith Road: originally there were also gates to the Blacket estate which were locked every night.
