16 Holyrood Road

16 Holyrood Road is a commercial building designed by R MacFarlane Cameron, dated 1896, with likely earlier fabric at the rear. It is a 2-storey, 3-bay structure in a roughly L-plan, showcasing a Scots Baronial style. The building features a central crow-stepped gable topped with a wheat-sheaf finial. The exterior is constructed of snecked, rock-faced cream sandstone with polished red sandstone ashlar margins and at the ground level, while the side and rear are built of rubble. It has roll-moulded surrounds, a moulded cill course, and an eaves course. The ground floor has segmental-arched openings, and the dormer heads have round-arched pediments. There is a wing at the rear that includes a late 20th-century projecting stair tower on the west side.

The north elevation facing the street is symmetrical, featuring a central pair of 2-leaf, 6-panel entrance doors with tall fanlights above. Above the doors is a central date plaque with intertwined initials J and T. The central first-floor window has a strapwork pediment with the monogram RMC. The building displays a variety of timber framed fenestration, including timber framed, 6-pane windows over plate glass on the first floor with opening upper lights, and 3-light windows over plate glass on the ground floor with a dentilled transom. The roof is covered with grey slates and has deep skews, a coped gable stack, and cast iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen in 2007 but is believed to have been substantially altered.
