A 17th century revival tenement with a concern for correct period detail and proportion, note small wallhead dormers, associated with the late 19th century historical tradition established by publications such as MacGibbon and Ross's Castellated and Domestic Architecture, J Small's Scottish Woodwork of the Seventeenth Century. This archaeological approach was a reaction to the wilder Jacobethan imaginings of mid-century architects such as RW Billings, and influenced Scottish architects as diverse in style as CR Mackintosh and R Lorimer.
