Tagged with: Tenement
The tenements adjoin the western side of 6 Hope Park Square (originally Hope House), an 18th century villa built by Sir Thomas Hope of Rankeillor. Sir Thomas Hope of Rankeillor laid out a park area on the neighbouring Meadows (originally Hope Park) from 1722 on the site of the drained Borough Loch.
The L plan block of 1-5 Hope Park Square first appears on the Edinburgh Ordnance Survey map of 1849.
The majority of Hope Park Square appears to have been remodelled as small tenements circa 1860. An advertisement in The Scotsman newspaper of 1860 notes two dwelling houses for sale at nos 1 and 2 Hope Park Square with each containing three flats. The Ordnance Survey map of 1876 shows the addition of forestrairs to the north side of the square at Meadow Lane.
