Statement of Interest

This building is a good example of an 18th century former warehouse. It has later alterations and is sited at the rear of Market Street to the heart of the historic burgh of Haddington. The building makes a strong contribution to the streetscape of the back lands of the town and evidences early fabric with its irregular window pattern.

The building forms part of an area of 18th century buildings around Market Street, Brown Street and Kilpair Street, where buildings are tightly packed with narrow streets and clearly evidence their age. The building itself and general area are evident on early maps of the town where they would have been at the core of the trading centre of the burgh. The Burgh Survey suggests that Kilpair Street may date as far back as 1660 and so it is possible that this building may have evolved from that date.

The current use of the building is storage for the shop 85 High Street.
