Description
The Cambridge Bar, located at 20 Young Street in Edinburgh, is a former house built by John Young shortly after 1779. This building features two storeys, a half-sunk basement, and an attic, with a classical design that includes four bays. It is constructed from droved cream sandstone ashlar with polished dressings and has an eaves cornice.
The central right bay showcases an architraved doorpiece with a mutule cornice, leading to a deeply set door and fanlight, which is flanked by bracketed cast-iron lamps. At the rear, there is an extended two-storey mews block that has an infilled carriage arch, with the entrance to the upper floors located to the right.
The building has timber sash and case 12-pane windows, with plate glass on the first floor. The skews are ashlar coped, and the rendered stacks include one that is truncated on the west side, topped with grey slates. The interior, not seen in 1995, features a public bar at the ground level that extends to the rear.
