N, E AND W ELEVATIONS: adjoins former stables at 157 lower Granton Road to N and E and former Granton Hotel to W (see separate list entries).
12-pane timber sash and case windows to ground floor (one altered). Grey slate roof with ashlar ridge stack with moulded cornice to main section; similar wall stack to east of rear wing adjoining stables; round cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods.
INTERIOR: not inspected (1997).
Almost certainly directly associated with former hotel and adjacent stables, all of which were erected for the Duke of Buccleuch at the entrance to his newly-constructed harbour in the late 1830's and 1840's. This building appears on the first edition OS map and was probably constructed shortly after the adjacent hotel. May have originally housed the stablemaster of the adjoining stables.
