Statement of Interest

Part of the Second New Town A Group, a significant surviving part of one of the most important and best preserved examples of urban planning in Britain. 32-38 Dublin Street was formerly 14-16a Dublin Street. Duke Street, to the south, was begun in 1801, and was continued as Dublin Street in 1803 as part of Reid and Sibbald's plans for the extension of the New Town. In 1966 Duke Street was renamed Dublin Street but retained its old numbers, while the original Dublin Street was renumbered.
