Description

This warehouse, located at 1 West Harbour Road in Granton, Edinburgh, dates from around 1845 and features later additions. It is a two-storey, nine-bay structure with a symmetrical design and classical detailing, including pediments above the loading bays. The building is constructed from coursed stugged sandstone, which is less finely coursed on the south and west sides, and has droved ashlar dressings along with red brick additions. The openings are segmental-arched, except for those in the brick additions, and the main section has droved reveals and stone sills throughout. Ground floor windows and some first-floor windows are fitted with iron bars.

On the north elevation, the central pedimented loading bay is flanked by two bays leading to additional pedimented loading bays on either side, with single outer bays. The full-height loading bays are made of droved ashlar and feature moulded cornices on the pediments. Cast-iron hoists with lion's head masks are located at the apex, and there are cast iron swivel hoists on the left side of the first floor, with boarded timber doors on each floor.

The west elevation includes a pedimented two-storey lower height single bay brick extension on the right, which was built around the same time as or shortly after the main block. There is also a single-storey curved infill section, likely from the late 19th century, with a conical roof on the left and two windows with stone lintels. The main section has a blank coped gable end behind it.

The east elevation has three bays and features a pedimented gable with a blocked oculus at the center, along with a broken base that displays the words "BONDED WAREHOUSES" in black painted letters on a cream band. This elevation adjoins 1 Granton Square at a right angle on the left.

On the south elevation, the loading bays are arranged similarly to those on the north elevation, with a late 19th-century single-storey brick extension to the left of center and a 20th-century extension to the loading bay on the right. The roofs are primarily covered with grey slate, while the extensions on the south side have corrugated iron. A single coped stone wallhead stack is located at the far left of the north elevation, and the building mainly features 42-pane vertically-hung casements.

Inside, the warehouse has a king post roof, timber floors supported by timber columns, and stone flags on the ground floor.
