35-39 Argyle Place, Edinburgh

35-39 Argyle Place is a four-storey, six-bay Baronial tenement built around 1875, which includes shops on the ground floor and is part of a terrace. The building features squared and snecked sandstone with polished ashlar dressings. There is a cornice above the shops and a corbel course at the third floor that forms hoods over the second-floor windows, stepping down at the third and fourth bays. The reveals are chamfered.

On the entrance elevation, there are three shopfronts (originally four) that retain their original cast-iron piers and capitals, with two featuring recessed glazed doors. The outer left bay has bipartite windows, which are advanced at the third floor and break the eaves in a gable that is finialled and has a crowstepped design with a circular patera. The outer right bay is similar but has third-floor windows that break the eaves in a pedimented and finialled gable. The remaining bays contain single windows, and there is a crowstepped table on the two central bays. The third-floor windows on the inner left and right also break the eaves in pedimented and finialled dormer heads.

The windows are a mix of four-pane and plate glass sash and case styles. The roof is covered with grey slate and features a corniced gablehead and mutual stacks, including one rendered and coped mutual stack, with moulded cans and beak skewputts. The interiors were not seen in 1990.
