Description

112-116 Lothian Road in Edinburgh is a four-storey plain classical corner building designed by William Burn in 1821. It features six bays facing Lothian Road and seven bays on Morrison Street, constructed from polished sandstone ashlar. The ground floor has a later 19th-century painted timber corniced shopfront, adorned with black and white tiles and cast-iron pilasters. The building includes a cornice, blocking course, and ornamental consoles on the ground floor pediments.

On the Lothian Road elevation, the single-storey shopfront projects at the ground level. The central section has a round-arched pediment with a two-leaf six-panel door and a plate glass fanlight to the left, a single plate glass window in the centre, and a louvred panel. To the right, there is timber boarding and another plate glass fanlight. Above, the first floor features two architraved single windows, while the second and third floors have regular fenestration across all bays. The ground floor has two bays to the right of the central section and three bays to the left, with the bays marked by attached colonnettes. The outer left and right bays on the first floor have four-light canted, corniced windows. There is a pedimented entrance porch with a clock in the tympanum at the outer left of the ground floor, which has modern two-leaf doors and a glass fanlight.

The Morrison Street elevation also has a projecting single-storey shopfront at ground level, with a pedimented doorway at the centre and a plate glass fanlight, divided by colonnettes into bays. The upper floors have regular fenestration, with blind windows in the central bay, the second bay from the left, and the outer right of the first floor. There is a pedimented doorway at the outer right, at the street corner.

The upper floors predominantly feature two-pane timber sash and case windows, while the ground floor has timber-framed plate glass windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a piended design, with coped and rendered stacks topped with corniced cans.
