Description

1, 2, 3 Greyfriars Place is an earlier 19th-century tenement building that incorporates some earlier materials. It stands four stories tall and has four bays, with shops located on the ground floor. The building is bowed at the corner, which serves as the entrance to Greyfriars churchyard. The exterior is made of coursed sandstone with ashlar dressings, featuring painted ashlar at the ground floor and rubble on the side and rear. There are cill courses at the first and third floors and a moulded projecting eaves cornice. The windows are set in moulded surrounds.

On the east elevation facing Greyfriars Place, there is a timber panelled door with a border glazed fanlight, flanked by shop windows that also have border glazing on the right. To the left, there is a two-leaf timber panelled door with a blocked fanlight, accompanied by windows with modern glazing. The upper floors are regularly fenestrated.

The west elevation at the rear is irregularly fenestrated and features two gabled dormers with bracketed skews in the attic. The Mylne monument, which is separately listed, is located adjacent to the ground level of the Greyfriars churchyard.

The windows predominantly consist of plate glass set in timber sash and case frames. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are corniced cement rendered stacks with circular cans at the wallhead and ridge.
