118 Princes Street, Edinburgh

118 Princes Street in Edinburgh is a late 18th century former classical tenement with significant additions made in 1983. This three-storey building with an attic is located on a corner site and features a glazed timber front that extends at the ground and first floors. The exterior is made of droved cream sandstone ashlar, and the timber facade has swept corners and a cast-iron balustrade.

The original second floor has five bays facing Princes Street, with the left bay being recessed, which was formerly a common stair. The building includes long and short angle quoins, a moulded eaves cornice that is bracketed to the left bay, and a broad swept slate-hung dormer with a canted window on the right, along with a pair of single piend-roofed dormers on the left. The gable facing Castle Street has three bays and features a single attic window, with a small blank wing to the north.

The upper floors are adorned with 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The building has ashlar coped skews and an ashlar stack to the east, with a small removed stack to the west that has tiny replacements, all covered with grey slates.

The interior has been modernized for commercial use and extends into No 4 Castle Street, which is listed separately.
