27, 29, 31 Broughton Place, Edinburgh

27, 29, 31 Broughton Place is a classical corner tenement building constructed in 1819. It features four storeys and an extensive basement, with a six-bay facade on one side and a seven-bay facade on the other. The building is made of sandstone ashlar, with the principal elevation having a rusticated ground floor. Architectural details include a base course, a band course between the ground and first floors, and a cill band for the smaller windows on the first floor that breaks the remaining bays. There is also a cill band at the third floor along Broughton Place, projecting cills at the third floor on East Broughton Place, corniced eaves, and a blocking course. The entrance has ashlar steps and platts that overhang the basement.

On the north (principal) elevation, there are two timber panelled doors with fanlights in the center, although the fanlight to the left is blocked. The windows in the remaining bays are regularly spaced, with the cills of the two outer bay windows on each side set lower. The east elevation features a pilastered and pedimented doorpiece at the basement level, with a timber panelled door to the left of center and a small window above it on the ground floor. There is another timber panelled door to the left, with small windows flanking the entrance and three small blocked windows to the right. The ground floor has windows with two bays on the left blinded for symmetry, and three bays above are also blinded. The upper floors have regular fenestration, with lowered cills for the windows in the two bays on the left at the first floor. The windows throughout are timber sash and case, with 12-pane glazing and 15-pane glazing on the first floor. The building has ridge and tall wallhead stacks with terracotta cans, as well as decorative cast-iron railings.

The interior was not seen in 1998, but a painted ceiling in the sitting room of No 29 was restored in 2011.
