87 George Street, Edinburgh

87 George Street in Edinburgh is a former classical house built around 1775, with an interior designed by David Bryce in 1835. The shopfront has been renewed twice, first in 1910 and then again in 1993. The building is three stories tall with an attic and features a three-bay shopfront that is extended at the ground level. It is constructed from droved cream sandstone ashlar.

The shopfront includes a splayed central entrance with a panelled door to the upper floors on the right, all situated below a consoled cornice and fascia. The first-floor windows have lugged architraves, with the central window featuring a consoled pediment and the flanking windows having cornices. There are also a pair of flagpoles at the second floor and an eaves cornice. The building has a pair of bowed piend-roofed dormers that are slate-hung.

At the rear, the building is expressed as a single storey and basement elevation facing the lane. It has timber sash and case windows, with plate glass and 12-pane windows in the dormers. The skews are ashlar coped, and there is a rebuilt stone stack to the east, topped with grey slates.

Inside, the building boasts very fine decorative plasterwork and chimneypieces throughout the shop. The main space features a top-lit saloon that is delineated by columns, with offices located at the rear.
