Description

Early 19th century, 3-storey and attic, 4-bay traditional terraced tenement. Street elevation, cement rendered and painted wall of coursed rubble, window cills and dressed margins at openings. Segmental-arched pend opening below centre bays, flanked by doorways, window at bay 1, further pend in bay 4. Reconstructed rear wall with modern render finish.

12-pane sash and case window at ground floor bay 1. Modern glazing elsewhere at front and rear elevations. Grey slate to E (street) pitch of roof, modern rooflights. Ridge recently heightened, rear pitch converted to mansard form with artificial tiles.

Statement of Interest

Alterations to this building since 1980 have been non traditional in form, but an effort has been made to retain the original profile of the Tweeddale Street elevation. This building is therefore important to the streetscape, especially when viewed in context with No 7. Photograph of 1980 shows the pend to the right with a steel lintel, suggesting that the opening replaced a window, and the original symmetry of the facade was then lost.
