9, 11, 13, 13C Dundas Street, Edinburgh

9, 11, 13, and 13C Dundas Street in Edinburgh is a terraced tenement building designed by Robert Reid and William Sibbald in the early 19th century, featuring four storeys and a basement, with the fourth storey serving as a wallhead attic. The building is constructed of broached ashlar sandstone, showcasing V-jointed rustication at the principal floor. It has band courses between the basement and principal floor, as well as between the principal and first floors. The second floor features projecting cills and a cornice, while the third floor has a string course and blocking course. The entrance is accessed via ashlar steps and platts that oversail the basement.

The west elevation has a nine-panel flush-beaded timber common stair with a rectangular fanlight at the principal floor, flanked by a round-arched doorpiece with a nine-panel timber door and a radial semicircular fanlight to the right. To the left, there is a pair of four-panel doors with plate glass rectangular fanlights. An advanced two-bay pilastered and corniced late 19th-century shop front is located to the outer right, featuring a tripartite glazed doorpiece and a four-pane plate glass window. The cills of the windows at the outer left are lowered, leading to the upper level of two-level offices, which includes a two-bay basement entrance (No 13A, Edinburgh New Town Conservation Committee) with a two-leaf timber door, flanked by a plate glass window to the left and a separate door to the right, topped with a cornice and brattishing. The upper floors have regular fenestration, with the cills lowered in four bays to the right at the first floor.

The south and north elevations are adjoining terraces, which are listed separately (3-7 Dundas Street and 15-17A Dundas Street, respectively).

The building predominantly features twelve-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof, and cast-iron rainwater goods. The ridge and gablehead stacks are made of rubble, with broached ashlar quoins and coped tops, finished with circular cans.

The interiors were not seen in 1997, but there is some evidence of working panelled shutters. The railings consist of ashlar copes, some of which are chamfered, and are topped with decorative iron railings featuring balusters and ball finials.
