Description

Early 19th century. 3-storey, 2-bay tenement, additional bay at curved corner and 2-bay return to Burnside. Red cherry-caulked sandstone walls, painted droved ashlar shopfront at ground. Base course, intermittent cill course at stall risers, cornice over shopfront with cill course above, eaves course. Raised margins and projecting cills to 1st and 2nd floor windows.

NE (LONGROW) ELEVATION: 2 bays with additional curved corner bay to right. Ground floor, 1st bay, 2 shop windows, 2nd bay, shop window

and entrance door (door to left), additional shop window off-set to right of corner bay.

NW (BURNSIDE) ELEVATION: 2 bays, shopfront render and cornice terminated at 1st bay, single window at ground floor, 2nd bay only.

Rear elevation: roughcast stair tower in re-entrant angle. Spiral concrete covered stair with wrought-iron handrail.

12-pane timber sash and case windows at ground and 1st floors, iron bars in window to Burnside. Rear elevation; 12-pane fixed-light to stair tower, 4-pane timber windows with top-hung uppers at 1st floor, plate glass timber sash and case at 2nd floor. 6-panel, 2-leaf doors to shop with 2-leaf glazed inner doors. Grey slate roof, curved with corner bay, cast-iron gutters and downpipes. Stacks and skews removed.

Statement of Interest

A photograph of circa 1977 shows an 8-flue shouldered wallhead stack over the left bay of the NW elevation, and another large stack over the dividing wall with the adjacent building. Removal of these stacks from this building mars the traditional profile, but this building continues to provide a particularly fine focus for this part of Longrow, and its early 19th century burgh architecture. It is currently (1995) further enhanced by a very smart shop-sign painted on the frieze.
