Description

94 Princes Street in Edinburgh is a late 18th century building with early 19th century and 20th century shopfronts. It is a three-storey structure with a half-sunk basement and attic, featuring five bays that reflect a former classical tenement style. The exterior is made of droved cream sandstone ashlar with polished dressings, although some stone has been replaced and the building was formerly painted.

At the ground level, there is a modern ashlar-framed shopfront with a simple cornice that extends across the two right bays. The remaining bays at ground level have a Roman Doric pilastrade filled with plate glass shop windows. There are steps in the center leading to an architraved door adorned with a carved frieze panel featuring an eagle. Open steps lead to the basement, which has a door and windows that correspond to the shop above. The upper floors have broader spaced windows in the two left bays, with taller windows on the first floor. There are three tripartite timber box-dormers on the roof.

The windows are timber sash and case with 12 panes. The building features ashlar coped skews, a rendered stack to the west, and a reduced stack to the east, all covered with grey slates.

Inside, much of the original detail remains despite the removal of the common stair and other staircases to create a single shop space. Original chimneybreasts, cornices, and shuttering are still present.
