3, 5, 7, 9 Dublin Street, Edinburgh

3, 5, 7, and 9 Dublin Street is a late 18th century, three-storey terraced tenement with an attic and basement, featuring six bays. The building is constructed from broached ashlar sandstone, with V-jointed rustication at the principal floor. It has a base course, band courses between the basement and principal floor, as well as between the principal floor and first floor, and a cornice with a blocking course at the second floor. The entrance includes ashlar steps and platts that overhang the basement.

On the south elevation facing York Place, there are round-arched doorways in two central bays. The left bay has a panelled timber door with a plate glass semicircular fanlight, while the right bay features a window in a former doorway. The principal floor has windows set in round-arched recesses, and the upper floors and basement have regular fenestration.

The west elevation facing Dublin Street has a five-bay gable with a pilastered and corniced doorpiece at the principal floor, which includes a panelled timber door and a three-pane rectangular fanlight. The remaining bays on the principal floor and upper floors have regular windows. The basement features two shop fronts on the left, with a glazed door and plate glass window to the left, and a pilastered and corniced doorpiece with a glazed door and plate glass window to the right. The outer right side continues the basement public house from the south elevation.

The north and east elevations adjoin other terraces, which are listed separately. The building predominantly has 12-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof with three canted piended dormers on the principal elevation, a central dormer with blinded sides, and a rectangular dormer on the left of the west elevation. It features cast-iron rainwater goods, with rubble and rendered gablehead stacks capped with circular cans.

The interiors were not seen in 1997, but there is some evidence of working panelled shutters. The property is also adorned with ashlar copes topped by cast-iron railings featuring spear-headed balusters and urn finials.
