Description
34 Queen Street in Edinburgh is a former classical house dating from around 1790. It is a three-storey building with a basement and attic, featuring three bays. The exterior is made of droved cream sandstone ashlar with polished dressings. The left bay has a paired Roman Doric pilastered doorpiece with a fluted frieze. The first-floor windows are adorned with floating cornices, and there are a pair of squat early 20th-century tripartite dormers.
The rear elevation is constructed of three bays of rubble, with a projecting central bay. The building has timber sash and case 12-pane windows, ashlar coped skews, and a rendered stack on the west side, which has been rebuilt on the east side. The roof is covered with grey slates.
The interior was not seen in 1995 and is unified with the interiors of Nos 35-37. The property is also complemented by cast-iron spearhead railings.
