Stone-Built Warehouse, Middle Pier, Granton Harbour, Edinburgh

This stone-built warehouse at Middle Pier, Granton Harbour in Edinburgh was designed by James Walker and A Burgess around 1840, with some alterations. It is a two-storey, three-bay rectangular building featuring a symmetrical classical design. The exterior is constructed from stugged sandstone ashlar with droved arrises, and includes angle quoins, an eaves cornice, segmental-arched openings, and chamfered reveals for the loading bays.

On the west elevation, there is a central two-storey loading bay equipped with a cast iron hoist that has a lion's head mask at the apex. Flanking the loading bay are blocked doorways, and there are windows on both floors in the outer left and right bays. Adjacent rail tracks suggest that railed wagons were likely unloaded at this location.

The east elevation facing the harbour features three regularly spaced segmental-arched windows on each floor. The north and south elevations also have a central loading bay with flanking windows. The ground floor of the loading bay has been blocked, and smaller doorways have been inserted on both elevations. Additionally, a large opening supported by a steel lintel has replaced a window on the west side of both elevations.

The roof is piended and covered with grey slate. The building retains a 25-pane fixed timber window and various casements, although some are missing or broken. There are cast-iron grilles on the ground floor windows.

Inside, the upper floor is supported by wooden posts, and there is a later brick dividing wall running north to south.
