Description

13 and 15 Dublin Street in Edinburgh is an early 19th-century, three-storey terraced tenement with an attic and basement. The building features polished ashlar sandstone, with V-jointed rustication at the principal floor and broached ashlar at the basement. There are band courses between the basement and principal floor, the principal floor and first floor, and the first and second floors. The windows on the first and second floors have projecting cills, and there is a dentilled cornice and blocking course at the second floor. The entrance is accessed via ashlar steps and entrance platts that oversail the basement.

On the west elevation, there is a round-arched doorpiece near the center at the principal floor, supported by Ionic columns and an entablature with foliated necking and a fluted frieze. The entrance has a four-panel timber door and a plate glass semicircular fanlight. To the right, there is a nine-panel timber common stair door with a plate glass rectangular fanlight. The left bay features a tripartite window, with regular fenestration in the remaining bays at the first and second floors and in the basement.

The north elevation adjoins another terrace, which is listed separately (17 and 17A Dublin Street), while the south elevation adjoins another terrace listed as 11 Dublin Street. The building predominantly has 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slate in an M shape, with a slate-hung rectangular dormer to the left. There are a pair of rubble stacks breaking the pitch to the right, along with a rubble ridge stack and a rubble gablehead stack, all featuring broached ashlar quoins and coped tops with circular cans.

The interior was not seen in 1997. The property is also adorned with ashlar copes topped by cast-iron railings with urn finials.
