35-37 Candlemaker Row, Edinburgh

35-37 Candlemaker Row is a later 18th century tenement building that was restored by Ebenezer J MacRae in 1930. It is a symmetrical, five-storey and attic structure with four bays and a two-window nepus gable, featuring shops on the ground floor. The building is constructed of random rubble with polished dressings and has droved ashlar that is painted at the ground level. There are dividing bands between the ground and first floors as well as between the fourth floor and the nepus gable, along with an eaves cornice. The corners of the building are accentuated with long and short quoins, and there are projecting cills above the ground floor.

On the southwest elevation facing Candlemaker Row, there is a square window at the outer right on the ground floor. The second bay from the right features a timber panelled door flanked by Ionic columns, while the centre has a timber panelled door to the flats in a round-arched surround. To the left, there is a shop with a timber panelled door to the right and a window to the left. The elevation is regularly fenestrated.

The northwest side elevation has two bays with three windows in the left bay, although there are signs of previous windows that are now blocked. A tall wallhead stack is present.

The building features 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, grey slates on the roof, and stone skews. The apex and end stacks have circular cans.
