13B Dundonald Street, 9, 11, 13, 13A, Edinburgh

13B Dundonald Street, along with 9, 11, 13, and 13A in Edinburgh, is a terraced tenement building designed by Robert Reid and William Sibbald between 1801 and 1804. It features three storeys and a basement, with an additional fourth storey as a wallhead attic. The building is constructed from broached ashlar sandstone and has channelled rustication on the principal floor. Notable architectural details include a base course, band courses between the basement and principal floor, and between the principal floor and first floor, as well as projecting cills for the first and second floor windows. A cornice is present at the second floor, with another cornice and blocking course at the third floor. The entrance is accessed via ashlar steps and entrance platts that overhang the basement.

On the east (principal) elevation, there are four-panel timber doors with rectangular fanlights located in the third, fourth, and sixth bays from the left at the principal floor. The remaining bays on this floor and the floors above feature regular fenestration, while a small three-pane casement window is found between the third and fourth bays at the principal floor. The south elevation, facing Cumberland Street, has a coursed rubble gable with irregular fenestration and a panelled timber door with a rectangular fanlight located to the left of centre at the basement.

The building is predominantly fitted with twelve-pane timber sash and case windows, with window guards in the outer right bay and the penultimate bay from the right at the first floor. The roof is covered with grey slate in an M shape, and it has cast-iron rainwater goods. The ridge and gablehead stacks are made of broached ashlar and are coped, featuring circular cans.

The interiors were not seen in 1997, but there is some evidence of working panelled shutters. Additionally, the property features ashlar copes topped with cast-iron railings that have spear-headed balusters and pineapple finials. A cast-iron lamp mounted on the railings includes a glass globe.
