Following the completion of the South Bridge in 1788, which linked the northern New Town and the Southside of Edinburgh, tenemental development in the Southside expanded considerably.
Architect Thomas Brown (circa 1781 -1850) was appointed as Superintendent of the City Works in Edinburgh in 1819. He designed a number of tenements in Edinburgh in the first half of the nineteenth century (circa 1817-1831).
The tenement blocks appear on the Ordnance Survey Town Plan of Edinburgh, surveyed in 1852.
