Description
1 Hill Street in Edinburgh is a pair of mirrored, three-storey and attic classical houses built between 1788 and 1794 by James Hill. They are located on a corner site and constructed from droved cream ashlar sandstone with polished dressings, which have been stone cleaned. The ground floor features smaller windows with a cill course, and there is an eaves course above. The inner bays have broad tripartite architraved doorpieces adorned with a fluted frieze and a mutule cornice. The entrance to No 1 has a flush-panelled door, while No 3 has two-leaf panelled doors. No 3 also includes a single piend-roofed dormer.
The gable is largely blank and made of coursed rubble, while the rear elevations are irregularly coursed rubble with two bays, featuring tripartite windows on the first floor and central stair bays that project towards No 3. The windows throughout are timber sash and case with 12 panes. The building has ashlar coped skews, rendered stacks, and grey slate roofing.
The interior was not seen in 1995.
