Late 18th century. 5-storey and attic 5-bay tenement with pilastraded shops to ground floor. Grey ashlar, painted to ground; rubble to rear. Continuous mutuled cornice to shops; eaves course. Regularly fenestrated. Projecting cills. 2 slated piend-roofed dormers to attic to front and rear. Later single storey harled building to rear.
12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows. Grey slates. Tall corniced stacks (brick to left, rendered to right) with circular cans.
In 1723-7 James Brownhill (following the precedent of Robert Mylne at Milne's Court) demolished closes running N/S to form a square court, building a tall double tenement to the N (all but the E section of which was destroyed in a fire in 1857), but leaving the old buildings facing the Lawnmarket. Those to the W of Gladstone's Land were replaced circa 1795.
