This terrace is a fine example of Victorian Classical urban architecture illustrating later 19th century town house planning and design, with confident use of canted bays and dominant doorpieces. These characteristic features make a significant contribution to the streetscape.
Alexander White was a builder active in Edinburgh in the late 19th century; this terrace is his only accredited work. It is likely that he was assisted by the Watherston drawing office in the designs and then built the terrace speculatively. The Watherston's office built large parts of Edinburgh's West End speculatively, often conforming to the plans of the Walker and Heriot Trusts. The firm also did country house work.
