Description
35, 36, and 37 Queen Street in Edinburgh is a former classical tenement building dating from around 1790. It is a three-storey structure with a basement and attic, featuring seven bays. The exterior is made of droved cream sandstone ashlar with polished dressings. It has long and short quoins, channelled rustication at the ground level, and an arcaded design at No 37. A cill course is present at the first floor, and there is a panelled frieze beneath the eaves cornice. The common stair is located at the center of the building, and there are four modern piend-roofed dormers.
The windows include 12-pane timber sash and case types, with round-headed windows at the ground level that have an incorrect modern glazing pattern. The building features ashlar coped skews and is covered with grey slates.
The rear elevation is constructed of rubble and consists of four storeys with four bays, showcasing Venetian windows at the second floor and a full-height bow on the east side.
Inside, there is a single office, as the tenement stair has been removed. The interior was not seen in 1995. Additionally, there are cast-iron railings with spearheaded tops at No 37.
