Description

25 Cockburn Street in Edinburgh is a three-storey, two-bay tenement building designed by architects Peddie and Kinnear between 1859 and 1861. The ground floor features a restaurant, while the second floor has two gabled dormer windows with decorative diaper patterns that break the eaves. The building is constructed from squared and snecked lightly stugged sandstone, which is painted on the ground floor. A continuous cornice runs along the ground floor, and there is a stepped string course beneath the second-floor windows that connects to the flanking elevations. The openings are stop-chamfered. The windows are timber sash and case, with two panes in the upper sections and four panes in the lower sections, and secondary glazing is installed behind. The roof is covered with grey slates.
