39 Jamaica Street, Edinburgh

39 Jamaica Street is an earlier 19th century, two-storey building that was originally a shop and converted into a public house in 1975. The structure is built from coursed rubble and features droved ashlar dressings, with an applied ashlar shop front at the ground level that includes a base course and cornice.

On the south elevation, the gable features a three-bay shop front at the ground level, which has a broad two-leaf glazed timber door in the center, flanked by windows with ashlar aprons. The first floor has windows on both the left and right sides.

The east elevation includes a vertically boarded timber door with a rectangular fanlight, and ashlar steps leading to the street, positioned to the right at ground level. There is a blind window to the left at ground level that has been infilled with a painted sign. A corbelled chimney breast is located to the left of center on the first floor, and there is a piended dormer that breaks the eaves on the right side. To the right, there is a single storey and basement addition that features two-leaf vertically boarded timber doors centered at the basement with a stone lintel, and a window centered at the ground level.

The ground level has plate glass shop windows on the south elevation, while the first floor features nine-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slate, and the building has cast-iron rainwater goods. The ashlar gablehead and wallhead stacks are capped with circular cans.

The interior was not seen in 1997.
