Tagged with: Tenement
Early 19th century. 3-storey, 6-bay tenement of rectangular plan. Cement-rendered and painted principal front with ashlar dressings, roughcast side and rear elevations. Eaves course, and projecting cills at windows.
SE (PRINCIPAL) FRONT: regularly fenestrated (grouped 3-3) and symmetrical, except at ground. Entrance door in 2nd bay, classical doorpiece with pilasters and entablature. Segmental-arched pend in
4th bay. Paired entrance doors between 5th and 6th bays (door to left infilled), flanking shop windows with curved cills and lintels.
NW (REAR) ELEVATION: 6-bay symmetrical, except at ground. Apsidal stair towers at 2nd and 5th bays. Vertically-boarded additions at inner re-entrant angles.
Modern glazing to all openings, except 16-pane fixed-lights to shop windows, and 12-pane timber sash and case windows surviving at stair towers. Grey slate roof, continuous over stair towers and adjacent additions to rear. Cast-iron gutters and downpipes. Roughcast, coped multi-flue apex stacks, with variety of circular cans, at gables and centring ridge. Skew copes at SE pitch of NE gable removed.
Loss of the original glazing has slightly marred this building?s traditional quality, and reinstatement would transform its appearance. This tenement, however, remains a fine example of early 19th century burgh architecture, presiding over the square now formed by Burnside, Cross and Union Streets.
