The estates surrounding the old village of Stockbridge, to the northwest of the New Town, were feued for residential development from the early nineteenth century.
The 62-70 Henderson Row feu was originally laid out in 1821 as part of scheme for the trustees of James Rose's estate (which bordered the Heriot estate and Edinburgh Academy). Kirkwood's map of 1821 shows the intended development of the feu as the extension to the northeast corner of Saxe-Coburg Street (originally East Claremont Street), however the feu was not developed during that period. The tenement block first appears on the Bartholomew's Post Office Directory map of 1865.
