Description

25-27 Shandwick Place in Edinburgh is a five-storey terrace building designed by William Turner & Sons in 1905. The ground floor features modern shop fascias made of polished pink granite, while the upper floors are clad in polished sandstone ashlar, with the first floor painted. The terrace has six bays and includes a pediment and balustrade. Notable architectural details include a cornice between the ground and first floors, a balustrade over the central two bays at the first floor, and various corniced cill courses at the second and fourth floors. There is a band course between the second and third floors, an eaves course, and a coped balustrade with panelled dies and a centered pediment above.

The principal elevation on the northwest side features a segmental-arched doorpiece with panelled spandrels in the two central bays at the ground floor, with a deep-set modern glazed door offset to the left of center and modern shop fronts on either side. Each bay has a bipartite window on the first floor, set behind sheet glass front walls. The upper floors have regular fenestration.

The southwest and northeast elevations are obscured by adjacent buildings, and the southeast elevation was not visible in 2000. The building has timber-framed casement windows, tall coped ashlar stacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods. The interiors have been converted into modern shops at the ground floor, while the upper floors were unseen in 2000.
