A prominent 18th century tenement, making a good contribution to the streetscape of one of Edinburgh's principal thoroughfares. The Southside was developed from the mid 18th century, and Lady Nicolson offered building feus along Nicolson Street from 1757.
According to the Buildings of Scotland volume for Edinburgh this and the opposite tenement, 6 St Patrick Street (see separate listing) were built by a slater, William Archibald in around 1780.
The projecting quoins and rubble construction suggest the building may have been harled.
