Description

69 Northumberland Street is a terraced tenement building located in Edinburgh, designed by Robert Reid and William Sibbald in the early 19th century. It features three storeys and a basement, with a five-bay façade constructed from broached ashlar sandstone. The principal floor showcases V-jointed rustication, and the building includes a base course, band courses between the basement and the principal floor, as well as between the principal and first floor. There is a cill course at the first floor and projecting cills at the second floor, topped with a cornice and blocking course at the second floor. The entrance is accessed via ashlar steps and entrance platts that overhang the basement.

On the south elevation, the principal entrance consists of recessed flush-panelled timber doors with plate glass rectangular fanlights located in the third and fourth bays from the right. The remaining bays on the principal floor and the upper floors feature regular fenestration, as does the basement. The east elevation is made of coursed rubble, with windows centered on the first and second floors. The west elevation adjoins another terrace, which is listed separately.

The building predominantly has 12-pane timber sash and case windows and is topped with a grey slate M-roof. It features cast-iron rainwater goods and rendered ridge and gablehead stacks that are coped and equipped with circular cans. Although the interiors were not seen in 1997, there is some evidence of working panelled shutters. The property is also adorned with ashlar copes topped by cast-iron railings with balusters and finials, along with cast-iron railing-mounted lamps that have glass globes.
