31 Gilmore Place, Edinburgh

37 Gilmore Place is an early 19th-century, two-storey terrace of classical houses featuring eleven bays, with later additions at the rear that create a near square-plan block. The exterior is finished in painted harl with ashlar dressings. The building is constructed from squared and snecked sandstone, with red sandstone ashlar dressings on the extension facing Hailes Street. The windows are architraved with projecting cills.

On the north elevation, two three-bay houses flank a central five-bay house. The central house has a doorpiece with a recessed two-leaf panelled timber entrance door, flanked by single windows, and a tripartite window on the first floor. There is a raised wallhead with single windows in the two outer bays. The outer left and right bays have pilastered doorpieces with panelled timber doors and flanking single windows, while the first floor features regular fenestration, with the central first-floor window on the outer left extended.

The east elevation facing Hailes Street has an M-gable design. The plain gabled section of the original building is on the outer right, while an adjoining five-bay gabled extension, dated 1911, is present. The central bay features a segmental-arched doorway with a hood mould, a two-leaf boarded door, and flanking channelled giant pilasters that rise above the roofline. The elevation includes a dentilled cornice, corniced castellation, recessed blind panels in the flanking bays, a banded eaves course, and blind arrow slits in the outer bays, with a dentilled detail to the castellated cornice.

The windows are 12-pane timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate and features piended sections with skylights. The wallhead is coped, and there are mutual stacks with corniced cans and skews.

The interior was not seen in 1997. The boundary walls are made of coursed rubble with a coping, and there are modern railings along the street.
