37 Lauriston Place, Edinburgh

37 Lauriston Place is a plain classical tenement block built around 1820, with later alterations. The building has four stories and a basement, featuring three bays facing Lauriston Place and four bays on Archibald Place, with a recessed quadrant bay at the corner. The ground floor is finished in polished ashlar, while the basement and the upper sections are in droved ashlar, with channeled ashlar on Archibald Place and the corner bay. There are band courses between the basement and ground floor, as well as between the ground and first floors, and cill courses on the first, second, and third floors. The eaves cornice is dentilled, and the first-floor windows have moulded architraves.

On the north elevation facing Lauriston Place, there is a timber panelled door with an umbrella fanlight in a round-headed opening, three round-headed windows to the left, and one to the right at ground level. There is a flat-headed blind opening on the quadrant corner at ground level, and a corniced and consoled window at the first floor. The basement features three depressed-arched windows.

The west elevation facing Archibald Place has a timber panelled door with a sunburst fanlight in a flat-headed opening to the outer right bay, and corniced windows at the first floor. The windows throughout have 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are corniced stacks with circular cans.

The boundary wall features spear-headed cast-iron railings for the basement area and steps, mounted on a low stone coped boundary wall.
