19, 19A Dublin Street, Edinburgh

19 and 19A Dublin Street is a terraced tenement building designed by Robert Reid and William Sibbald in the early 19th century. It is three storeys high with a basement and features a fourth storey as a wallhead attic. The exterior is constructed from broached ashlar sandstone, showcasing V-jointed rustication at the principal floor. There are band courses between the basement and principal floor, as well as between the principal floor and the first floor, and a cill course at the first floor. The second floor windows have projecting cills, and the entrance is accessed via ashlar steps and entrance platts that oversail the basement.

The west elevation, which is the principal elevation, features a pilastered doorpiece in the left bay at the principal floor. This doorpiece is supported by Roman Doric columns and includes an entablature above a six-panel timber door with a radial rectangular fanlight. The remaining bays at the principal floor have windows, and the fenestration is regular on the floors above and in the basement.

The north elevation adjoins another terrace, which is listed separately as 21 and 21A Dublin Street. The south elevation presents a squared and snecked rubble gable, featuring a pilastered doorpiece with a cornice at the principal floor and windows centered on the floors above.

The building has 12-pane timber sash and case windows and a grey slate roof, which includes a polygonal piended dormer on the right. It also has cast-iron rainwater goods and rubble gablehead stacks with broached ashlar quoins, which are coped and topped with circular cans.

The interiors were not seen in 1997, but there is some evidence of working panelled shutters. The railings consist of ashlar copes topped with cast-iron railings featuring spear-headed balusters.
