191 - 201 Great Junction Street and 3 and 5 Bangor Road, Edinburgh

This building, located at 191 - 201 Great Junction Street and 3 and 5 Bangor Road in Edinburgh, dates from around 1890. It is a four-storey corner tenement featuring shops on the ground floor and exhibits Free Renaissance architectural detailing. The structure is made of cream sandstone polished ashlar. Notable features include a continuous cornice with a blocking course above the shopfronts, a cill course at the second floor, and a bracketted eaves cornice adorned with delicate iron brattishing.

The ground floor showcases angled pilasters that are moulded and pedimented, while the first and second floors have channelled pilasters, and the third floor features panelled pilasters with coped dies above eaves level. The windows are architraved, with scrolled and pedimented designs at the first floor, corniced at the second floor, and shouldered and keystoned with bracketted cills at the third floor.

On the Great Junction Street elevation, which is five bays wide, there is a two-leaf panelled common stair doorway located off centre, flanked by shops that have mostly been altered or boxed-in. Notable features include a tiled butcher shop at No 189 and a mosaic doorway at No 199 (Gray & Co). The outer left bay has bipartite windows, while the remaining bays feature single windows.

The Bangor Road elevation is also five bays wide and includes a canted corner bay on the outer left. There is a round-arched keystoned doorway that is now blocked, and a three-storey canted bay that is corbelled above the ground floor, with an initialled panel (?H G?) above the second floor. To the right, there is a blank bay, with single windows in the bay to the right of centre and bipartite windows in the remaining bays.

The building has two wallhead stacks and features timber sash and case windows with plate glass glazing, some of which are four-pane. There are recesses for downpipes. The interior was not seen in 1993.
